Plant tissues may be embedded in half the time taken for paraffin embedding if acetone is used as the dehydrating and infiltrating agent, and the tissue is embedded in ester wax. This procedure retains appreciably more lipid material inside the cells than does the more usual technique, even when the tissue has been fixed in osmium tetroxide or in La Cour's 2BE.
