hello,
does anyone have a remedy for folding/overlapping of frozen brain sections
(f.s.) as they are picked up onto  glass slides.

or perhaps there is something in my routine causing this.  i section at 8u
using disposable blades temp. -23C -18C.

also, is there an advantage to cryoprotecting brain sections vs fresh
sections frozen in isopentane chilled with liquid nitrogen?  I have not
been cryoprotecting my sections.

thanks,
Atoska S. Gentry
