Abstract
A mixture of sodium methoxide, benzene and methyl alcohol has been used to remove the resin from sections of epoxy-embedded tissues. Thick sections prepared in this way stain brilliantly and reveal excellent cellular detail in the light microscope. The solvent mixture can be stored indefinitely.Keywords
