Does anyone have any opinions on using a heat pen to flatten ultrathin EM
sections? I would very much prefer to get away from using chloroform.
Electron Microscopy Sciences has two models: Wax Pen 1 (which uses 1 AA
battery) and Wax Pen 2 (which uses 2 AA batteries). Their tech
representative recommended the Wax Pen 2 for flattening sections. Is this
consistent with the preference of the majority?
I need to decide to place an order soon (the end of the fiscal year is
approaching).
Thank you,
