Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of embedding machines, and in particular to an embedding machine with video monitoring function. Background Technology

[0002] Embedding machines, also known as biological tissue embedding machines or paraffin embedding machines, are the most widely used in routine histological slide preparation techniques.

[0003] When using conventional techniques to prepare sections or ultrathin sections, it is difficult to produce sections of uniform thickness due to the softness or uneven hardness of the tissue. Therefore, it is necessary to impregnate the tissue with a certain substance to harden the entire tissue. First, molten paraffin is injected into the embedding holder (mold). Then, the paraffin-impregnated tissue block is removed from the dehydration box with tweezers, placed in the center of the embedding holder, and placed on a small cooling stage. The tissue block is gently pressed with tweezers to flatten it. The bottom of the dehydration box is then covered, paraffin is added, and the tissue is transferred to a freezing stage. After freezing, the paraffin-impregnated tissue block is removed and ready for cutting.

[0004] Embedding machines are not only used to observe the morphology and structure of normal cells and tissues, and are the main method for studying, observing and judging morphological changes in cells and tissues in disciplines such as pathology and forensic medicine, but they are also widely used in research in many other disciplines; in teaching, they are used to observe slide specimens under a light microscope.

[0005] In the existing technology, there are cases where tissue blocks made using embedding machines do not meet the requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to find the cause, especially to carefully check the operation process. Utility Model Content
