Dear fellow Histonetters...

I want to thank you all for your suggestions and advice regarding our recent
problem of bluish "dots" on our stain.  We looked at various possibilities:
different filters for our Hematoxylin (including coffee filters),  different
lot numbers of stain, etc etc etc.  It seems that more time in our initial
de-paraffinization baths combined with agitation, has improved the stain to
date!  
Thank you all for your help!  I'll keep you posted if anything changes!
