<x-tab> </x-tab>Never had
any problems with cork discs. They certainly make sticking specimen/ cork
to the orientation head very easy. Plus they have the advantage of being
able to label the specimen on the reverse side of the cork<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Be
interested to hear how other cryotomists handle specimens. <br>

I have never understood the reason for these little bits of cork, which
provide a non-heat conducting, wobbly, prone-to-fall-off, interface
between chuck and tissue.<br>

A question for UK
Histologists.<br>
After many years I'm
running out of cork discs for cryostat <br>
specimens and unfortunately I can't remember who supplied them. Please,
<br>
anyone using cork discs, where did you buy them.<br>
