Eye Wedge Model

One of our very talented mohs technicians, Michelle, made an amazing creation of an eye wedge. Sometimes when eye wedges are placed in front of us, it can be confusing to know just exactly how dissect and ink. This model lets you really see what part of the skin it came from and how to properly lay it down for perfect sections every time. Thanks Michelle!



Ask a Mohs Tech- Tattoo sections




Ever wonder what skin looks like under the microscope with tattoo ink? One of our mohs technicians captured a great picture to share. Also a great picture of complete epidermis and good stain.

Ask a Mohs Tech- Rubber band Trick

Rubber Band- Double Duty



Daily use of cryostats can put a lot of wear and tear on the screws inside, especially the screws that hold the knife plate in place. You should always update your screws, as they can get stripped easily, but incase you don't have time here's a great tip found in the Good House Keeping Magazine. They probably weren't talking about cryostats, but in this case it's perfect for Mohs!



To get a better grip on a stripped screw, trap one side of a wide rubber band (like the ones used on a produce bundle) between the screwdriver and the screwhead, and twist!
