embryo sectioning

[Kathleen Gajewski]

I received an e-mail request from Srikanth Rajagopalan about embryo 
sectioning and tried to reply, but my message bounced about in cyberia 
for a week and was returned, so I'm posting it here:

Dear Kathleen,
I've been trying to section fly ovaries with variable success. I was
wondering if you could share any useful information you may have received
about Araldite sectioning.

Sincerely,
Srikanth

Sorry to say, I didn't get any response to my query.  There is a paper
with M. Leptin as one of the authors that has some gorgeous embryo
sections.  I believe it's in Development, but I can't locate my copy
right now.  That's where I would start looking for info.  We decided not
to do sections, so I haven't followed up on any of this.

                        Good luck,  Kathleen
