Abstract
A number of improvements are described for the preparation of resin se ctions of undecalcified bone embedded in polymethyl methacrylate. Base d on a modified resin mix, the modifications, which include a speciall y designed block clamp, have resulted in a simplified and quicker proc edure with improved section quality. The method has been used routinel y for investigating approximately 10 000 cases of metabolic bone disea se for diagnostic purposes.
