✦ Synopsis


Several technical difficulties have been overcome in the use of Lowicryl 4KM resin. In order to embed and section tissue satisfactorily in the resin, it has been found necessary to thoroughly degass the resin before infiltration and polymerisation. After irradiation with UV light, the blocks are further polymerised by exposure to daylight for 2-3 weeks and then stored under partial vacuum over dessicant.
