Dear Histoexperts:

We are planning to do immunostaining on human eye lens tissue. Is there any
special fixation protocol that would prevent the lens from becoming too
brittle and difficult to section? I have also heard that the sections can

detach from slides easily. Is any substrate optimal to prevent this?
I can already tell that the technical components of this project will be
tough to work out, however, from past experience, I also know that this
group has the answer to everything.

Hopefully,
judy
