My apologies to the members of Histonet! My blackberry had unfortunately dialed by accident.

Is anyone out there using LR White for routine resin embedding, sectioning, and staining? I am interested in learning some tips for mounting sections on to the slide as wrinkle free as possible. Also our H&E stains are a little bit pale.

Thanks in advance!
Teri

At the risk of sounding ignorant - easier and easier to do now that
I'm 72 - what's "Pneumo"? Pneumocystis? Pneumococcus? Legionella
pneumophila?

When you post on Histonet, remember that abbreviations, acronyms, lab
slang, and trade names will often not be understood. Many of our
readers are not native in English, and many come from other
disciplines.

I purched a set of 10 from Scientific Device Laboratory so that I could use them to validate an automated GMS stain for pneumo.  They were better than nothing, but I wouldn't recommend them only because the quality of material on the slides were not consistent.  Some were very thick with lots of background material.

At a past NSH S/C, there was a vendor demonstrating digital pathology
from the grossing station thru the slide.  This was a system for
photography of the gross specimen.  Can someone remind me what company
that was?  I believe it was "attached" to a Thermo workstation.
