In my lab we have to do parafin embedding with mouse nerves. Its really hard to get them to stand up straight in the parafin and get a nice cross section, as they are quite thin. Even besides that, I am shit at cutting them (the machine I use is Leica RM2235).

Any advice? With diagrams if you can? All of the online tutorials are pajeets and the only person in the entire building who knows how to do it is a FOB chink who can't speak or understand english.
