Abel;slides (Introduction)

David: 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?

I did tell you that I was only a craftsman. Not much of a demand for slide preparation on construction sites. I have looked at my cells under a microscope that I have scraped from my cheek without preparation and seen the tri-nucleation.
The dye I sent was meant to stain cells, perhaps it has hematoxylin in it.

Thank you for spelling hematoxylin properly. I was out feeding the horses and the proper spelling came to me. I was in histology class 62 years ago! As for what you saw under the microscope of your cells prepared as described, there is no telling what you saw. I'll look at what you have sent and report.
