What does look bad mean?  In what way do they look bad?  Do they cut well?  What tissue processor do you use?

Subject: [Histonet] processing program for biopsies

Would you experienced histotechs mind to look at this program and see if it would cause skin biopsies to be poorly processed? I think too much time in alcohols.
  The pathologists say they look bad.
Thanks in advance for your help!
