glass beakers..and the benzene...
Ah, the good old days...

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....)?
