You know those Lab Tech instructions that begin with ....Simply blah blah blah.

Well I had to "simply" get some marsupial hair, to make a cross-section slide. This shows that marsupial hair has a figure 8 kind of a cross section, whereas all mammals - humans, dogs, cats, cows etc - have an oval shaped cross-section. Also, different hair cortexes.

So, thinking outside the box, I rang the local tourist traps....I mean Wildlife establishments. I got to hug a koala, while the keepers ran inside out sticky tape down his back, then we got a Bettong and finally a paddymelon. So I think I have a fairly unique set of slides, and yes, the whole cross-section/cortex thing is true and visible.
