What are the Applications of Celloidin in Histology?
Celloidin is used in various specialized applications where its unique properties are advantageous:
Neuropathology: Celloidin is preferred for embedding nervous tissue due to its excellent preservation of delicate structures. Ophthalmic Pathology: It is also used for embedding eye tissues, ensuring the fine details of the retina and other ocular structures are maintained. Bone and Cartilage: Celloidin is effective in embedding hard tissues like bone and cartilage, which are challenging to process with paraffin.
