Polyethylene Glycol as an Embedment for Microscopy and Histochemistry

Polyethylene Glycol as an Embedment for Microscopy and Histochemistry is the first book devoted to discussing polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a biological sample embedment for microscopy (EM and LM). Its contributors are international authorities in all areas of investigation using PEG as an embedding medium. The book provides broad coverage of a variety of methods, including low molecular PEG-cryosection, agarose block section-transferring technique, PEG section for scanning electron microscopy, nucleic acid in situ hybridization study, monoclonal antibody screening, PEG-celloidin mixture embedding method, and diethylene glycol distearate used as removable embedment. This practical volume will interest histologists, histochemists, cytochemists, cell biologists, and other researchers using PEG in microscopy.
