Abstract:
A three-part histologic tissue receptacle and embedding structure comprises an identification, open-ended, mold section, a pan section, and a perforated top section which can be slid over the mold and pan sections and retain all three sections in a closed relation. The mold, pan and top sections of the structure may be arranged for service, with the pan telescoped in the mold section, as a perforate, integral, shallow depth, receptacle for holding and transporting the tissue specimens through various liquids during processing, as a mold for embedding the specimen, as a holder for holding the embedded specimen in a microtome during slicing and after slicing, as a housing for holding and protecting the remaining unsliced embedded specimen during extended storage.
