Subject: [Histonet] microns on frozen sections of lung


Is there an "ideal temperature" to frozen section lung tissue? Any input would surely be appreciated, as I usually frozen section, at 4-6 microns, renal, skin and heart between -15 and -12 o C degrees, with not a lot of problem. But this last time, lung tissue was included and I had such great difficulty in obtaining a decent frozen section and was almost embarrassed to turn in what I was able to obtain.
