[Histonet] need training in histology
From: | Myri37@aol.com (by way of histonet) |
Hi histonetters,
First, let me inform you that your website has always been a great help,
consulting you has become indispensable. I am a technician in a tissue
engineering lab. I end up doing histology in paraffin and resin for the
past three
years which I enjoyed very much. However’Ķ.:
Histology in paraffin did not cause me any problem in the other hand the one
in resin (methylmetacrylate.spurr and epon) cause me few complications
considering the fact that my samples are implants of titanium coated with
a layer
of hydroxyapatite that’Äôs also covered by a cellular layer rich in collagen
fibers.
I found problems in the choice of resin , the resin MMA and epon present an
important retraction , I make thick sections of 100 um then grind them. But
I can't make all of the possible staining for collagen and the tissue newly
mineralized
I would like to know if you know any information on specialize training in
histology as close as possible to my field in another word the inclusion of
hard resin of diferent biomaterial covered with tissue. the choice of the
appropriate fixative, the choice of dehydratation solvent, the choice of
resin the
best timing for it, a good interpretation of the microscopic blades and make
the difference between coloration artifact and reel element.
Could you provide me with title of manuals that will help me answer some of
these questions?
Or where I can find them?
And also if there are courses or training to follow?
Thank you very much for your information
