advice on sectioning

From:Vanessa Heim <heimvk@bu.edu>

I am actually pretty new to histology and would really appreciate some
advice if possible.  I am having trouble keeping the tissues from
falling off the slides during the staining procedure...no matter what
protocol I use...we use precoated slides from surgipath, and I have even
added addtional adhesive to a water bath to see if that would help the
situation...it did not.  The tissues being sectioned are very fresh as
we use a cryostat to section...If anyone has any new ideas or
suggestions I would really appreciate them

Thank you
