Re: [Histonet] Embedding

I worked in a derm lab for a few years, and it seemed best to embed the
skins on a slight angle to the mold, so that when you cut through the soft
tissue first, your knife wasn't hitting a straight line of (sometimes)
hard epidermis. Also, if you cut through the epidermis first, there is a
tendency to damage the knife edge, or drag hard particles through the soft
tissue, creating scratch artifacts in your section.

Subject: [Histonet] Embedding
I have a question for all of the derm and hard tissue people out there.
How
do you embed the sections? Do you cut the dense or hard tissue first or
last
- or do you embed at an angle? One individual is questioning the answer
given
in the study guide and so far I have different answers from those I have
consulted.
Thanks,
Freida Carson
