The invention provides a system and process for manufacturing nanofibers that integrate a post-drawing process in a continuous electro spinning manufacturing process. In certain embodiments, the system and process are capable of post-drawing multiple individual electrospun nanofibers simultaneously. In certain embodiments, the system can be configured and controlled to accommodate various materials that can be electrospun.

System and method for electrospun fiber straining and collecting

Tissue samples embedded in settable, sectionable media such as paraffin can be cut into sections. Embedding one or more sectionable fiducial indicia in the medium permits identification of the plane along which the medium has been cut. However, prior methods of inserting indicia into embedded tissue sample blocks are cumbersome and difficult to perform. Sectionable fiducial indicia can be embedded in a block of medium by releasibly fixing the indicia to the sidewall or base of a mold used to shape the tissue block during embedding of a tissue sample in the medium block.
