Abstract

A new rapid and simple method for electron microscopy of paraffin-embedded material is described. The paraffin-embedded tissue is deparaffinized in xylene, stained in a 0.01% toluidine blue/absolute ethanol solution, infiltrated in a propylene oxide/resin mixture, and embedded in epoxy resin. This quick method, which excludes rehydration, postosmification, and dehydration, takes about 3 h and produces results equal to previously described more laborious re-embedding techniques.
