Anupma,
                will you tell us  please the precise purpose for this?
Is this a  general histology of the digestive tract and if so which group
of individuals is this for?  Students, colleagues, text pictures etc.
How much detail is necessary?
Are there any specific portions of the digestive tract that you are
especiallay interested in?
Do you intend to do any immunohistochemistry?
If you can provide us with this information we may be better able to help you.
Thanks
Barry
