Epoxy resin embedding methods have been improved to provide rapid, reproducible, and convenient techniques for electron microscopy. These methods yield robust sections with less tissue damage compared to methacrylate embedding. Epoxy resins offer better preservation of cellular structures and are less prone to degradation during electron beam irradiation. However, initial difficulties with epoxy resins, such as poor penetration and sectioning issues, were overcome by modifying the embedding procedures. Two new methods were developed: one using aromatic Araldite resins and another using aliphatic Epon 812. These methods allow for faster embedding, better sectioning, and improved contrast in electron microscopy. The new methods also allow for easier staining and can be used with various fixatives without causing "bubbling." The use of propylene oxide as a transition agent improved penetration and reduced sectioning difficulties. The modified Araldite method involves using a specific anhydride-epoxy ratio and a three-stage curing process. The Epon method uses a combination of Epon 812 with different anhydride curing agents to achieve a wide range of hardness. Both methods have been successfully applied in laboratories and are now used for teaching and research. The new methods offer significant improvements over previous techniques, allowing for faster and more reliable electron microscopy preparation.Epoxy resin embedding methods have been improved to provide rapid, reproducible, and convenient techniques for electron microscopy.
