A simple heat-based alternative method for deparaffinization of histological sections significantly improves acid-fast staining results for Mycobacteria in tissue

Histopathology is the study of how disease alters human and animal tissue and is based on the microscopic examination of stained tissue sections. To maintain tissue integrity, preserving it from degradation, it is initially fixed, primarily with formalin, before being treated with alcohol and organi...
