Have you tried using an eye mold?  Surgipath and Sakura sell super
cassettes and molds.
One suggestion:  after processing eye, brain, etc.  at embedding, top mold
with a routine cassette that you transferred ID on.  If you top the super
mold with a super cassette, it is not very stable on the microtome.

Hi all,

Does anyone have any link, product or ordering info for histology molds I
can purchase to paraffin embed rat brains . More specifically I need the
size of histology molds that are appropriate for rat brains that are age
0-adult. Thanks so much!!!!
