[Histonet] Vacuolated and torn?

[Martin, Erin]

Good morning everyone!

One of my pathologists says that we are having a problem with the tissue on the slides looking vacuolated and torn.  He is convinced it is from microtomy.  Anyone have any ideas?  I was thinking that it might be a processing issue.



Thanks in advance!
