I have a colleague that is sectioning OCT embbeded rat tracheas with carotid
arteries attached.  She is having trouble cutting them at around 6-8um in
thickness.  Are there any recommedations or helpful suggestions as to how to
handle sectioning this tissue--temperature, etc?  The tissues were frozen
down in isopentane cooled on liquid nitrogen and she is cutting them on a
Leica cryostat.
