What Is The Detailed Content Of Wax Immersion

Wax immersion refers to the process of placing a specimen into a support material after pre-treatment, which enters the tissue and wraps it around it.
Paraffin remains the most popular histological laboratory wetting and embedding agent. Soak the tissue with wax to form a square to prevent distortion of the tissue structure during slicing. Paraffin wax has a wide melting point range and is convenient to use in different climate regions around the world. It is cost-effective and has a wide range of uses.
The most commonly used support material is paraffin, hence the name "immersion wax".
