 What is the formula for shrinkage when using 10% neutral buffered formalin
to fix  a tissue sample? If I start with a tissue a microns x  b microns x c
microns what do I end up with? Is there a time factor for additional shrink?
Is there also a formula for rate of penetration? Formalin infiltrates y
microns per t? What about other fixatives any formulas available?
