Sections 0.5-1.0 mm thick are cut from the cured blocks using a metallurigical saw with a diamond wafer blade. After being glued to glass microscope slides, they are ground and polished to approximately 75 microns in thickness. The polished sections are treated with 95% ethanol saturated with sodium hydroxide, stained with Gill's hematoxylin and counterstained in eosin Y-phloxine B.
