Rich,

Try a "Tissue Capture Pen" (cat.#22310) from Ted Pella Inc. Phone number is
800.237.3526.  This company carries many unique and useful histo/cyto
products and I suggest requesting a catalog.  Can contact by e-mail:
sales@tedpella.com or go to their web site: http//www.tedpella.com.  Good
luck,  Greg

Subject: Nail specimens adherence...




To all microtomy experts does anyone have tips for getting nail specimens
to adhere to slides for H&E and PAS/Fungus staining. We have tried positive
charged and silanized slides. Cutting them is not the problem.
