Hi Cheryl, If you can, use more eggs. Then process them into a pellet with histogel. Upon sectioning, many different cross-sections will be visible in the same section. Tom T

Subject: [Histonet] marking tiny specimens
I am processing some extremely small specimens - pin tip size. These are eggs with a protein covering. I have tried using eosin to color the tissues before processing but the color came out before paraffin. The coating on the eggs will not absorb the dye. Does anyone have a suggestion for dyeing or marking these tissues so I can see them better to embed. Thanks in advance, Cheryl
