Plastic embedding of cutaneous specimens for light microscopy using araldite epoxy resin
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology
|June 1, 1978
Abstract:
A method is described using araldite epoxy resin for embedding intact 3-mm cutaneous punch biopsies for light microscopy. Sections are cut at 0.5-2.0 micron and stained with hematoxylin-eosin-phloxine. This procedure allows for preservation of cellular detail unobtainable with conventional formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue.
