Benefits making maceration slide is the quality and satisfaction result from preparation and easy check microtechnique preparation about the parts of the structure of havers system. The effort to make maceration slide better quality is to apply dyesstuff. In general colourful ingredients often worn is dyestuff synthetic. Dyestuff this sometimes it is difficult to get applied in scholl because prices and the use of. Based on urgency that is, the use of a natural dye expected to be the solution.
