Microwave Applications in Pathology, Hardcover by Leong, Anthony S-y, ISBN 1607410605, ISBN-13 9781607410607, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Leong (anatomical pathology, U. of Newcastle, Australia) describes how microwave irradiation is being used in fixation, tissue preparation, and histochemical and immuno-histological staining as an alternative to the conventional dyes and other methods that are either environmentally damaging or very slow, and sometimes even both. Among the aspects he discusses are tissue fixation for light microscopy, rapid tissue processing, cryostat sections, accelerated demineralization, antigen retrieval, applications in molecular analyses, and chemical and industrial applications.
