ORL Histology Core
This core will enhance existing research by centralizing histologic efforts to achieve high quality and reasonably priced histology for investigators, and to ensure, in collaboration with the other cores, a cost-effective, efficient, integrated, hierarchical approach to the evaluation of tissue phenotypes. Procedures are posted on the website. In addition to routine paraffin processes, the Core is able to handle undecalcified bone / teeth and soft tissue with implants by embedding tissues in PMMA plastic.
