Epoxy Resins in Electron Microscopy

Epoxy Resins in Electron Microscopy

A method of embedding biological specimens in araldite 502 (Ciba) has been developed for materials available in the United States. Araldite-embedded tissues are suitable for electron microscopy, but the cutting qualities of the resin necessitates more than routine attention during microtomy. The rather high viscosity of araldite 502 also seems to be an unnecessary handicap. The less viscous epo...

A New Epoxy Embedment for Electron Microscopy

A new epoxy embedding mixture has been developed utilizing Maraglas 655 and Cardolite NC-513 with benzyldimethylamine (BDMA) as a curing agent. This epoxy mixture permits cellular preservation comparable to that obtained with Epon 812, ease of preparation of tissues, a wide range of miscibility, low viscosity, and, most important, ease of sectioning on a Porter-Blum microtome. In contrast to Ep...

Examination of Lung Parenchyma by Electron Microscopy

In this paper many of the principal struc­ture of the Moral Lung were studied with the help of Electron Microscopy. Detailed descrip­tion was given of Granular Pneumocytes, Membranous Pneumocytes, Macrophages, and Alveolar Capillaries. A discussion followed on the form and function of Granular Pneumo­cytes.  Acknowledgements  I am grateful to the Reza Shah Pahlavi Foundation for its generou...
