title: [Simplification of the production of plastination histologic preparations through the use of a grinding machine].
abstract: A new histological method basing on the plastination technique (v. Hagens, Tiedemann, Kriz 1987) has recently been developed and applied to research in human fetal development. This plastination histology shows some evident advantages compared with the classical histological techniques. As the application of this new method has been very time consuming up to now, only some special questions of basic research have been investigated. We here present the use of a grinding-machine, which can be used to partially mechanize the procedure of plastination histology.
