What I have noticed about Dierite is - it tends to crumble into minute
pieces, making a fine dust that I dislike anywhere around my tissues or
tissue sections.
Bet that is a not good for the processor, plus carrys over into all the
rest of the solvents, creating another set of problems, fine grit.
I wonder if it is really that important to have absolute 100% alcohol in
the last station. I think there has been some recent discussion about
this, and it never seemed to affect my tissues or the way they sectioned
when I used run of the mill 100% ethanol, which is not pure 100% anyway,
more like 98%??? or thereabouts.
