The process of tissue embedding involves several steps:
Fixation: Tissue samples are fixed using chemicals like formalin to preserve cellular structures. Dehydration: Samples are dehydrated using a series of alcohol solutions. Clearing: Dehydrated tissues are treated with a clearing agent like xylene to remove alcohol. Infiltration: Tissues are infiltrated with molten paraffin from the reservoir. Embedding: Infiltrated tissues are placed in molds and filled with paraffin to form a solid block.
