[Histonet] EM renal embedding of long cores

[Morken, Timothy]

Hi all, I am interesting anyone's experience EM embedding of  long renal cores, say in 5mm increments, rather that dividing to 1 to 2 mm pieces, for blocks, and thick sections.

We are wondering about then going on to produce EM thin sections of gloms identified for EM. Is the core re-trimmed to smaller pieces and re-embedded, or some other method?

Any info will be appreciated.
