Most widely used fixative is FORMALDEHYDE/FORMALIN

Trimming

Preparation

Embedding

Formalin

The hardened block is placed for sectioning in an instrument called microtome

Sectioning

Clearing

Formalin

The fully cleared tissue is then placed in melted paraffin in an oven at 52°C-60°C, which evaporates the clearing solvent

Clearing

Infiltration

Embedding

Examples of large molecules lost during routine fixation are:

Glycogen

Proteoglycans

Glycosaminoglycans

All of the above

Stained tissue sections are mounted permanently on a glass slide using a mounting media

Mounting

Standing

Seating

Preparation

Sample illumination is transmitted white light, and contrast in the sample is caused by attenuation of the transmitted light in dense areas of the sample.

Electron Microscope

Atomic Force Microscope

Bright-Field Microscope

Microscope (device used to magnify small objects) in which objects are lit at a very low angle from the side so that the background appears dark and the objects show up against this dark background.

Darkfield Microscope

Bright-Field Microscope

Phase-Contrast Microscope
