Camilo Villouta

Christmas time at the Villouta Lab! So happy to finally have our own LI6800

Here creating a monster. They don’t sell these microtomes with blade holders for glass knives anymore. Trying to be creative. Let’s see if it works (a lot of double side tape hahah). Here cutting some old samples embedded in LR White.

Starting our second leg on my grad student’s research in spinach. He will be studying root architecture and anatomy on different cultivars.
