Please respond to the list so she'll see the response. Thanks. I would like to poll the group regarding routine practices for thickness of paraffin sections. I am particularly interested in brain, spinal cord, lymph node, tonsil, and renal biopsy Most references range from 3-6 um for routine tissues with 4-5um being most prevalent. What do you use? Which tissues do you cut at a different thickness routinely? I am not referring to special stains as the protocol would prescribe the thickness. Thanks for your help. Janet Keeping A.R.T., B. Voc.
