Tumor vasculature is irregularly sized and arranged in a disorganized manner, where they share characteristics of arterioles, capillaries, and venules simultaneously. Studies on microvessels of tissues (from mastopathy to human breast cancer) embedded in Epoxy resins using a light optical microscopy method were performed and human breast cancer microvessel images getting on semithin epoxy slices gave a new opportunity in the studying of this disease.
The best preservation of tissue structures for a long time has been reached by the embedding of tissues into epoxy resins. The aim of the current research is to show the potential of light microscopic studies on the research of blood vessels of tissues embedded and conservated in epoxide resins. Our results demonstrated that preservation of tissue in epoxide resins proved to be a convenient method for theirs studying under light microscope independently of the age and temperature conditions of the sample storage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
