The Histology Laboratory and Bone Morphology Unit,
made possible by gifts in fond memory of Mrs. Joan Ferguson Pew,
a former member of the School's Board of Overseers, provides special
information on the microscopic structure of bone in both the healthy
state and in fractures. The laboratory is used to prepare calcified
and non-calcified bone sections.
Laboratory equipment includes the Exact band saw,
grinder and polymerization system for precision thin sectioning
of calcified histology, with or without implants. The lab also
contains a Jung microtome, and a micro-radiography and photo-radiography
facility.
