Re: [Histonet] frozens on eye parts
Andrea,
I believe that the eye should be snap frozen to minimize the growth of
ice-crystals.
We have prepared very good frozen eye sections with snap freezing followed
by using the CryoJane Tape-Transfer process.
To learn more about the tape-transfer technology please visit

If you have any questions we would love to answer them.
Bernice
