Dear Listers,
I am expecting the following samples for paraffin embedding sometime
soon -- "wolf ovaries have been preserved in tequila for the past 6 months
or so". I first assumed that this was a joke but apparently they are
serious--this is a reproductive physiology project from an ecology
lab. Any comments are welcome--levity included. I can hear your laughter
already! My questions:
--has anyone used tequila as a fixative?
-- is the embedding worth pursuing?
