  • Title: Plastic embedding of cutaneous specimens for light microscopy using araldite epoxy resin.
    Author: Barr RJ, Buck JE, Liew CT, Graham JH.
    Journal: J Invest Dermatol; 1978 Jun; 70(6):342-4. PubMed ID: 349089.
    Abstract:
    A method is described using araldite epoxy resin for embedding intact 3-mm cutaneous punch biopsies for light microscopy. Sections are cut at 0.5-2.0 micron and stained with hematoxylin-eosin-phloxine. This procedure allows for preservation of cellular detail unobtainable with conventional formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue.
