Microtome -an instrument for cutting thin sections of objects, e.g. tissues or cells, preparatory to microscopic observation.

fixation - The use of a fixative to preserve histological or cytological specimens. Paraffin wax - white insoluble odourless waxlike solid consisting mainly of alkane hydrocarbons use to surround a pathological or histological specimen Paraffin oven - A device that is used for the warming of paraffin embedding medium Fixatives - The objective of fixation is to preserve cells and tissue constituents in as close a life-like state as possible and to allow them to undergo further preparative procedures without change. Trimming - To make ready or right by cutting or shortening
Dehydration - Dryness resulting from the removal of water.Depletion of bodilyfluids.The process of extracting moisture Clearing Embedding - To enclose (a specimen) in a supporting material before sectioning for microscopic

examination Impregnation a process involving fixation and dehydration and forced impregnation and hardening of biological tissues; water and lipids are replaced by curable polymers (silicone or epoxy or polyester) that are subsequently hardened; "the plastination of specimens is valuable for research and teaching" Sectioning process of preparing a thin slice of biological tissue, mineral, etc., prepared for examination by a microscope. Staining - to treat (specimens for the microscope) with a reagent or dye that makes visible certain structures without affecting others. Mounting - a backing, setting, or support onto which something is fixed Labeling - To identify or designate with a label
