[Histonet] Stupid, stupid static!!

[O'Donnell, Bill]

I have used the product linked below (of course mine was purchased at a
vinyl record store for neutralizing static on turn-tables. It cost a
whopping $15.00 at the time. Maybe some folks can still get them there?

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.
