Sharon, why not buy a quarter-pound of hamburger, let it sit on the counter
overnight at RT, and then cassette it?  You should have buggies galore,

in-house blocks.  The microbiology department will supply the  "bugs" but
we need to get them in the tissue and incubate the tilssue so we get a good
control.  Any ideas?
