At the time that I prepare the bones (ostrich bones) to light microscopy, I
have no possibility cut them in small pieces to electronic microscopy. I
put them in formalin to light microscopy and latter (some hours aprox. 1-2
hours, because I have an special saw in my laboratory) I saw them in
another laboratory with that saw. Someone can help me with this: after 1-2
hours in formalin I have no more possibility to prepare the bones to
electronic microscopy?
