[Histonet] Stupid, stupid static!!

[Hawkins, Hal K.]

There are devices used in cryo-ultramicrotomy that might help.  I have no experience myself.  Also, I found this interesting article via Google.

You know, all of it sounds so easy...unless you're cryosectioning!!
Does putting a humidifier outside help with static in a cryostat?  Because
the static is driving me nuts.  Why aren't there teams of people working on
this issue? It keeps coming up, yet there is no one good answer,
Calling all engineers!!

Writer Richard Suflet recommended drinking large doses of strong vinegar
with fleas to cure the illnesses that resulted from swallowing the
horse-leeches that were common in drinking water.
