About this title

Synopsis

This book is an extensive guide to section-cutting, a fundamental process in microscopy used to prepare samples for investigation. It begins by discussing methods for preparing plant and animal tissues for sectioning, including how to harden the samples using alcohol and chromic acid. The text then introduces the necessary instruments and materials, such as the microtome and section knife, and provides detailed instructions on their use. The author discusses the process of embedding tissue in paraffin for microtome use, and outlines the steps involved in staining and mounting sections. This book includes helpful advice on selecting appropriate mounting media, such as glycerine and Canada balsam, for different types of samples. With its clear instructions and comprehensive coverage, this practical guide is a valuable resource for anyone interested in microscopy and the preparation of tissue samples for examination.
