	The reason being that in our Laboratory all the specimen
dissection is done by Biomedical Scientists (what you call
histotechnologists, I think?). We are in the process of seeking payment
for these duties and we do not want to sell 	ourselves short off the
going rate for such duties, which I understand are carried out by
Pathology Assistants in US 	labs. I would also be interested in
hearing from anyone outside the US who is doing similar work.

	Many thanks for your anticipated assistance.
