Abstract
NaOH solutions extract elastin and collagen from epoxy-embedded thin sections containing rat cardiac connective tissue. Extraction results in a reverse staining effect of elastin and collagen ultrastructure. Microfibril contrast is enhanced by NaOH treatment. This phenomenon finds application in the possibility of differentiating elastin, collagen, and microfibrils at the ultrastructural level.Entities:
