Abstract

Resins are used to provide exceptionally strong support in tissue preparation for microscopy. Currently available resins include epoxy and acrylic formulations which can be used in standard histological techniques, but also may be useful in specialized techniques such as immunohistochemistry. The applications, advantages and disadvantages of these agents are described and a comprehensive listing of commercially available resins and resin kits is also included.
