Glass slides are best used for mounting less than 10 microns plastic
sections after using a plastic capable cutting microtome (Microtome & Knife
system).

Plastic slides are typically used for greater than 40 micorn plastic section
obtained from the Ground Histology process (band saw & grinding system) e.g.
EXAKT system.

I use both.
Thanks

Can I mount mineralized bone sections (Methyl Methacrylate embedded ) on
glass slides or it will be mounted on plastic slides?

With compliments
