In Focus: www.downthescope.co.uk is a valuable resource created by Peter Richards-Bios using a digital pathology Leica Aperio microscope slide scanner to share hi-res images and supporting information. Perhaps readers can help with his queries as well as visiting his site (where his contact details can be found). He writes: My name's Peter, I'm a resident in veterinary pathology at the University of Liverpool. Over the last two years I've been getting into invertebrate histology and was frustrated by the lack of resources available that discussed invertebrate histology, anatomy and physiology outside of dense experimental studies. To remedy the lack of resource available I decided to scan my own collection of histology slides from various animals and make them available on the internet via a website that I created (www.downthescope.co.uk). I also have an accompanying YouTube channel where I use the slides to make videos explaining the histology and how it relates to physiology of these animals (I recently made this short video on snail kidneys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtA57Xslw1o). I'm looking to expand the offering of slides on the website. Do you know of any sources of either whole insect mounts or histology slides that I would be able to access? They could be individuals or organisations. The slides can be returned after scanning. I've also tried making my own slides (or rather, submitting the tissue to the histology lab where the experts cut the sections), but I've had variable results which are mostly unsatisfying. Do you have any resources or could you point me in the direction of someone with experience in sectioning tissue from invertebrates? We
are delighted to receive contributions small
or large from microscopy enthusiasts whether a
novice or expert. If you have an image, tip or
article, why not share it, this magazine is
what you make it!
