Factors Affecting Fixation
Q: Which statement is TRUE about the relationship between fixative volume and tissue size?
Did You Know?
True. Rapid freezing (quenching) converts tissue water into numerous tiny ice crystals. Slow freezing allows water to form large, sharp ice crystals that expand and rupture cell membranes, creating holes and distortions seen as freeze artifact.
