Hello Histnetters,
One more observation to add to the issues with small
specimens and hazy nuclear detail:
As a new supervisor, I noticed an employee who insisted in
using an alcohol flame to heat her forceps when embedding.
As it turned out, she was frying the biopsies when she
picked them up. I took away the alcohol flame (no flames in
the lab anyway) and no more problems.
Hope this helps,
