RE: Re: Iris abicans/questions and blather

When I was at college in histoilogy class,way long time ago,  we stained our 
tissue, then embedded in wax, then sliced into paper thin wafers to see the 
internal structures of cells under the microscope. Would this be of any 
help? While I don't remember the stains used, there are several standard 
ones. I remember doing fruit fly chromosomes that way.
