If it is desirable to make paraffin sections, put the material, drop 

 by drop, on a piece of blotting paper until an appreciable layer of 

 sediment is obtained. Get the paper with its material into paraffin 

 by the usual method, taking great care not to wash the algae off. 

 After imbedding, trim away the paper and dip the block in melted 

 paraffin. Sections can now be cut and stained in the usual manner.
