survey slides, LM, TEM & STEM, HVEM cytochemistry

Silicone rubber slide mold. Produces 2 slides, 1" x 3" (25 x 75mm). See reference below. Fixed vibratory microtome sections or cytochemically stained cells, post-fixed with osmium tetroxide, are dehydrated and infiltrated with resin by routine or rapid embedding methods. The sample is placed into a mold recess and resin teased to the edges. Photomicrography may be performed. Selected specimens are excised, glued to blank blocks with cyanoacrylate adhesive and are then sectioned for ultramicroscopy. Translucent.
