[Histonet] uneven sections on slides

From:Julie.Sanders@med.va.gov

Hello All,
In the past few days one our pathologists has been complaining about "uneven
sections."  In other words, he's having to focus up and down a lot because
the sections aren't flat on the slide.  Any body have any explanations of
why this could be happening and any solutions?  We haven't been doing
anything different, use plus charged slides and paraplast x-tra paraffin. 15
minutes in a 55 degree C oven and automatic stainer.
Any comments are greatly appreciated.
