tiny biopsies in agar

From:Gayle Callis

Amos Brooks remarks are well taken.  It helps to get a good magnifier on
your embedding center.  If that does not work, one can get magnifier eye
loupes that fit on edges of glasses/safety glasses up to 4X if needed. I
have a full set from 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4X for dissection purposes, purchased at
a knitting outlet for $11.00 per set and flip up when you don't need them.
They save a lot guessing and frustration on specimen orientation/fine
detail work (sectioning tiny GMA blocks, very small tissues in cryostat,
etc)    

There are also pricier tensor lamps with magnifiers, but cumbersome in
front of the face.
