When it is properly performed it has the ability to demonstrate a wide range of normal and abnormal cell and tissue components and yet it is a relatively simple stain to carry out on paraffin or frozen sections. In histopathology a high proportion of cases can be diagnosed by an experienced pathologist using an H&E stain alone. http://www.leicabiosystems.com/pathologyleaders/performing-a-hematoxylin-and-eosin-stain-a-step-by-step-guide/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Geoffrey Rolls Neuroscience researchers usually need to see slices of whole brain in order to determine the location in brain of detail they are viewing under the microscope. The brain needs to be hardened to allow cutting the thin slices, unless a vibrating blade microtome, which is much slower, is used. http://www.leicabiosystems.com/pathologyleaders/freezing-biological-samples/ Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Miles Cunningham, Ph.D. Charles W. Scouten Anyone who has visited Dr. Peter’s website tutorial on frozen section techniques knows that he is a true believer in the brush technique. Let’s learn how he teaches this valuable skill to his resident. http://www.leicabiosystems.com/pathologyleaders/one-pathologists-approach-to-teaching-frozen-sectioning/ Fri, 27 May 2011 15:04:49 +0200 Dr. Stephen Peters This article describes a system used for embedding of tissues for the preparation of frozen sections. This novel system uses simple techniques and apparatus to accomplish face-down embedding in freezing-temperature steel wells. The system is easy to learn and offers many advantages over conventional methods, including speed, high precision and predictability, and reduced tissue wastage. http://www.leicabiosystems.com/pathologyleaders/the-art-of-embedding-tissue-for-frozen-section/ Thu, 21 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0200 Dr. Stephen Peters
