Then the sample was fixed in the
Bouin's solution, for approximately 18 h.
TMJ specimens were kept in 10% formaldehyde solution for 2 weeks and then in
Bouin's solution for 2 days.
Bouin's solution gives rise to non-specific staining (Fig.
IB) becoming visible in embryos stained with
Bouin's solution. This stage began on average on day 60 and lasted for about 32 days (Table 1).
Biopsy was sent to the pathology laboratory in
Bouin's solution. With the help of the pathologist Tubular Fertility Index was determined using light microscopy with 40x magnification.
Also, a piece of the biopsy specimen was placed in a tube which contained
Bouin's solution to fix the specimen for pathological investigation
Samples of tissues were also placed in cassettes and fixed in
Bouin's solution for later histological processing (see Shields et al.
Testes were removed and fixed in
Bouin's solution, embedded in paraffin an stained with Hematoxilina and Eosin Y.
Firstly, the boiling shrimp sample was fixed to preserve its tissues in
Bouin's solution. After that, water from the tissues was removed.
After 30 min, cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and fixed with
Bouin's solution for 5 min.
Rat incisor teeth were placed in 10 % formaldehyde solution for 2 weeks then fixed in
Bouin's solution for 2 days.
For gonadal histology, 30 fish were fixed in toto for 24 hr in
Bouin's solution and stored in 70% industrial methylated spirits (IMS) before processing for histology.
