[Histonet] Question regarding cutting on microtome

[Marcia Spencer]

I am wondering what causes a "ribbon" appearance in skin when viewed
under the microscope, usually seen in the epidermis, but occasionally
can be seen in the underlying tissue as well.  I find this effect
happens only in a few, 4 or 5 slides out of 100, but, I don't know how
to correct it.  I would describe it as the "old fashion hard candy
that was rippled like a ribbon could be.  Under the scope, focusing up
and down demonstrates that the section is complete, just not on the
same plane.  Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time
M. Spencer
