The use of epoxy resins in histology offers several benefits:
High Resolution: Epoxy resins have a high level of dimensional stability, which is crucial for ultrastructural studies. Durability: They form a very hard matrix that can endure the rigors of sectioning and staining. Compatibility: They are compatible with both light and electron microscopy, making them versatile for various types of analyses. Minimal Shrinkage: Epoxy resins exhibit low shrinkage during polymerization, preserving the integrity of the specimen.
