ringing but I used celloidin as an adhesive, 3% celloidin in methyl
benzoate. Remember celloidin is an 8% solution in ether.<br>

A question for the gurus of Histology.<br><br>
Many years ago (and I emphasize many) the lab I trained in used a
technique<br>
for post treating paraffin sections to keep them on the slide through
some<br>
of the silver staining techniques. It involved dipping the
mounted,<br>
deparaffinized slides in a mixture containing celloidin. Does this
ring a<br>
bell out there, and if so do you remember the concoction and
procedure<br>
details?<br><br>
Any pearls of wisdom would be appreciated.<br><br>
