Preparation of unfixed undemineralized bone sections: the Bright bone cryostat

A D Pearse 1, D L Gardner 1
PMCID: PMC477216  PMID: 4552477

Abstract

A bone cryostat is described with which cold sections of unfixed, undemineralized calcified tissue can be prepared.

The bone cryostat is suitable for the preparation of the sections required for the histochemical and immunofluorescent study of bone, for electron microprobe analysis, and for bone and joint autoradiography with soluble compounds.
