Popis: Fixation is used in this text to denote a chemical treatment leading to immobilization and stabilization of tissue components. Displacement and extraction of native components should be minimal and, ideally, those properties which characterize the tissue in vivo should be preserved. Certain methods of investigation such as electron microscopy, enzyme histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry are very exacting in their fixative requirements and therefore demand a detailed understanding of fixation.
