Published: August 2007

Microwave processors can provide a means of rapid processing and resin embedding for biological specimens that are to be sectioned and examined by transmission electron microscopy. This chapter describes a microwave-assisted protocol for processing, dehydrating, and embedding biological material, from living specimens to blocks embedded in sectionable resin in 4 h or less.
