Abstract
A rapid method for embedding with low-viscosity nitrocellulose is described. Advantage is taken of the greater penetrating power of low-viscosity nitrocellulose than that of common varieties of celloidin. Fixation, dehydration and infiltration are carried out in screw-topped jars in the incubator at 56° C. The whole procedure from fixing to sectioning can be finished in 15-30 hours, and sections as thin as 6 to 10 μ may be cut without difficulty.Keywords
