Re: [Histonet] artery sectioning
Hi Laura
Another trick to get rid of folds in tricky tissues is float them out on
50% alcohol first. Place a clean slide on the side of the waterbath and
pour a few ml of 50% alcohol onto it. Then float the artery section onto
this slide and gently lower it into the waterbath. I think the alcohol
expands quickly when it hits the warm water - pulling out any creases.
