Paraffin wax is a vital medium used in pathology for embedding biological tissues, allowing for precise and detailed microscopic examination. The process involves infiltrating tissue samples with melted paraffin wax, which then hardens to provide structural support for thin sectioning. This technique preserves cellular morphology and allows pathologists to cut ultra-thin sections using a microtome. The paraffin-embedded sections are then mounted on slides and stained to highlight different cellular components for diagnostic purposes. This method is crucial for the accurate diagnosis of diseases, including cancers, by enabling detailed histological analysis.
