Re: Display Case
Nena,
I'm going out on a limb(pun intended) here and guess that you have
a lot of beautiful ground sections with hip implants. This is based on the
fact that you work at Stryker Howmedica Osteonics. Why not embed (in a
clear resin such as methylmethacrylate) a halved hip implant containing
surrounding bone and soft tissue in a large Rubbermaid container (must be
done in layers of 1 inch or less). Pop it out like an ice cube after it
polymerizes and make it the foundation of the showcase. This would be an
impressive way to show biocompatibility. Then, show large color glossy
photos of bone labeled fluorescent slides. How 'bout some image analysis
graphs and photos? Pictures of the equipment (i.e., Exakt saw and
grinder,etc.). Whole femur and ground, stained section side-by-side
entitled "How do we get from here to here?". As Vinnie says , now is the
time to shine. What you do is extremely challenging and the histology
techniques you use are not ordinary or routine.
Best wishes!
