Abel;slides (Introduction)

I sent two prepared slides. Hopefully, they will survive the trip. I don't have a microscope, so I could not ascertain the quality of my preparation.

I included a spare slide, cover slip , eosin dye, a vial of skin tissue, and a scalpel if you need to make another slide(s).

It is obvious you don't seem to know what you are doing. I had histology in college. Basic dye is a combo of hematoxalin and eosin, not just eosin. You can't make a slide with a scalpel blade. You must imbed the tissue in parafin, and then use a microtome to slice the parafin and put that very thin material on a slide for staining. What use is skin tissue, half the dye, and a scalpel to me?

Tony's intuition is right on, it seems. I wioll look at what comes and report to all.
