Abstract

Embedding is the process in which the tissues or the specimens are enclosed in a mass of the embedding medium using different types of   mould e.g steel molds ,glass mold, plastic molds etc . Embedding is the crucial step in determining the orientation of sectioning. the tissue blocks are very thin in thickness they need a supporting medium in which the tissue blocks are embedded. This supporting medium is called embedding medium. Various embedding substances are paraffin wax, celloidin, synthetic resins, gelatine, etc.
