Fred,
Ann Preece wrote the first
Histology book I ever studied from. I'm
old school histology. I used to even
sharpen knives, stain, and coverslip by
hand. Once or twice when our
one and only tissue processor went down I even
processed by hand! Yuck!
What's worse is that we even tucked a piece of
typing paper with the
accession # under the coverslip! Sorry I'm ranting.
Ann Preece A Manual For
Histologic Technicians Third edition Little, Brown
and Co. Boston copywright
1959,1965,1972. Pg 228 has an old Mayer's
Hematoxylin formula that includes
Chloral hydrate.

And Respectfully back at you, just to show my
total
ignorance.
Who is/was Ann
Preece? I sure would like the original ref.
for
that
alteration of Mayer's original
recipe which I have in all of
my old tomes.
Even worse, I can hardly remember how to get home any
more,
how can you
remember someone I
never even heard of (he asked
humbly....)?
