Low Viscosity Nitrocellulose for Embedding Tissues

W. CHESTERMAN 1 and E. H. LEACH 1

1 Department of Physiology, Oxford

Low viscosity nitrocellulose may be used as a cheap and effective substitute for celloidin. A plasticizer, tricresyl phosphate, should be added to the embedding mass. The technique for embedding, cutting, and handling the sections is described. Sections can be cut with any ordinary paraffin microtome. It is easier to use than celloidin and considerably thinner sections can be obtained.
