Dear Bob:

To obtain good slides from animal tissues it is important not only to
process them properly but also to use right techniques in chilling and
soaking the blocks during microtoming. In response to your query, our
laboratory specializes in animal tissue histology (for the past 20 years).
Please feel free to contact us and we will help you with schedules and tips
on the various animal tissues you are studying.

Regards,
