I have read that when sectioning eyes for histology that you first place the
ribbon onto a cold water bath then onto a warm water bath. This is not done
for any other tissue type.  

Why then is it done for Eyes, and is it necessary? 

Can you go directly to the warm water bath with out adverse effects.
