EFFECTS OF FIXATION IN LIPOID HISTOCHEMISTRY

Abstract

A variety of methods of lipoid fixation are needed to satisfy the requirements of different investigations. Of greatest current usefulness are the methods which involve dichromate oxidation of the tissue. Useful as the study of frozen sections of such tissue has been in the past a wider horizon of application has been opened by controlled chromation which allows lipoid histochemistry to be studied in paraffin sections as a routine procedure.
