Vibratome sections of difficult tissues
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
After 1 hours of aldehyde fixation, 4 to 20 hours of soaking in 2% BSA (bovine serum albumin) solution and another 17 hours in the same fixative, the vibratome will produce smooth, even sections from agar embedded guinea pig thyroid, skeletal muscle or larynx with the same ease as it will from soft, homogeneous tissues such as liver or spleen.
