[Histonet] shrinkage

[Sherwood, Margaret]

We found shrinkage noticeable in our cornea samples.  We get some corneas that
have had measurements done before fixing and then, when comparing the corneas
after processing, the measurements are slightly different.

Shrinkage for paraffin processed tissues is about 20%.
For GMA it is less than 5% which is one reason GMA stuff looks so nice.
