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.Gao, Kuixiong is the author of 'Polyethylene Glycol As an Embedment for Microscopy and Histochemistry' with ISBN 9780849343230 and ISBN 0849343232.
