Subject: Re: Formalin fixation

Was fixation at room temperature?  Were electron microscope  images made, 
and did they show synapses or microstructure?

One  human brain was used for this study. The brain was fixed in 5% 
formalin  
for two months, rinced and cut in two halves on the

sagital plane.  Both brain halves were sagitally sliced at a tickness of 4 
mm. From each  brain half we selected 8 slices and plastinated them

with P40 using  different immersion and impregnation  conditions.
