Nut Hut

After "Nut Hut" is what seems to be the word "This" written in blue ink pen. You can see it if you blow up the image. :)

Wow, ugh. What a shame. I guess it shows us what 50 years can do to a neglected building. It's great to have the before shots to compare your current photos with Motts. Thank you.

Storage

RacheyBachey

After the slides have been made, and you have gotten the slices needed for those slides, there is most often a remaining block of wax and tissue. These are stored in case you need more slides in the future. In America, there is a time period of which you are required to store them- I'm not sure how long.

Cubes

RacheyBachey

You take the cubes, and prepare micro thin slices of the sample with a microtome.
It's tricky, you have to get a few squares attached together, like paper dolls, then set them in a bath of water and a certain chemical. The sample/wax squares then float in the water, and you have to dip the slide under and "scoop" them onto the slide. From there the slides are put in an oven, where the wax melts off and fixes the sample to the slide.
Then, there are series of stains, depending on what the tissue sample is. The stains help highlight cells and structures in the tissue, that the pathologist looks at under a microscope,
That's the gist of the process...

Findings

Looks like the file system for the slides. Each slide has it's own number, and they are filed accordingly.

When I was a histotechnician for a pathologist, I prepared tissue samples for slides like those. Pretty cool process.

Roosevelt Quote

RacheyBachey

I tried using an online translator...
I can't quite get it, but I think it is a quote from Theodore Roosevelt about there being more failure in life for not trying.

Anyone parle vou francais? :)
