Christy, can you tell us more about Chromosome counts? (or does anyone else on list have any information?)
Is an electron microscope required, or can they be done on a standard laboratory microscope? (Lab microscopes are probably quite different to what I remember 20 years ago)
My oldest daughter is a research pharmacologist, so has access to equipment at work, and sufficient expertise. Second daughter is doing a science course at Uni. If it is not terribly complex, I may be able to persuade one of them to help me out.
I would need to know a bit about taking sections, staining etc. Also depends on how time consuming it would be.
I feel that only a few fertile IB's would need to be counted to start to give a general picture of what is happening at the cellular level.
This would be a very interesting project.
Cheers, Jan Clark
