    Area of Science:

    • Histology
    • Microscopy
    • Materials Science

    Context:

    • Standard histological laboratories often lack specialized equipment for advanced techniques.
    • Semi-thin epoxide embedded sections offer superior resolution for light microscopy but are underutilized.
    • There is a need for accessible methods to produce high-quality histological sections.

    Purpose:

    • To present an accessible method for producing semi-thin epoxide embedded sections in ordinary histological laboratories.
    • To adapt existing microtome technology for enhanced sectioning capabilities.
    • To develop novel techniques for tissue preparation and staining for improved structural analysis.

    Summary:

    • A specialized device is described for securing glass knives in a rotational microtome (MPC-2).
    • Recommendations are provided for obtaining serial semi-thin sections and their subsequent staining.
    • An original method for creating film preparations via mild tissue compression during epoxide resin polymerization is introduced.

    Impact:

    • Enables routine use of high-resolution semi-thin sections in standard labs, improving diagnostic capabilities.
    • Facilitates the study of complex three-dimensional structures and interconnections within tissues.
    • The film preparation method allows for detailed analysis of structural components and their relationships.
