Anyone in the field of histology or cytology knows that there are products out there that are particularly good and those that are less than perfect.  Histology is still a hands on, labor intensive field, dependent on products and supplies that work well.  Only our own histonetters are familiar with products that work well consistently,  especially in high volume situations.  I personally am very happy to know that so many people have recommended Richard Allan for their Signature series glass coverslips.  I can now go and try the series and make up my own mind.  It is a starting point not a sales pitch.  In addition, we will try our Fisher and Allegiance brand (which are less expensive) as well.  This is a professional internet with knowledgeable and experienced people.   Thank goodness I don't have to order from dozens of companies--I don't have the time or the expense to do so.

This, along with the coverslipper question, sounds like someone is using the
Histonet to conduct a free competitive marketing survey for their commercial
company.  Doesn't Scott Taft work for Ventana/RMC?  Is this proper "Netiquette"?
