Abstract
A glycol methacrylate embedding technique is described which, while producing high-quality sections, achieves cost containment by ultrarapid processing and by adaptability to automated processing. Processing has been tailored to the type of tissue; ultrahigh-quality sections for special purposes are provided, and undecalcified specimens as large as a femoral head can be processed. The method is adaptable to histochemical stains, radioautography, and demonstration of antigen-antibody reactions. Blocks may be stored at temperatures up to 75 C without damage.
