Well, since it's been awhile, I felt like I should drop in a little update.
As some of you may know, I have two last (relatively minor) experiments to complete. The first involves tracking points on a knee as it is flexed, and the second involves slicing an insertion through the middle to determine the orientation of the fibers at the bone. I had been working on the knee-flexion experiment when I ran into a little problem: freezing makes sharpie marks go away.
I used a sharpie marker to mark the points that I was tracking. In-between two phases of the experiment, I froze the tissue so that I could do some analysis and continue working at a later date. Since the marks ran when I thawed the tissue, I now have to restart the experiment. Fortunately, I was able to get enough info so that I could complete the analysis portion, and that is what I am finishing up now.
