title: Autofluorescence and induced fluorescence in Epon embedded tissue sections.
abstract: The autofluorescence of tissue components in Epon semithin sections depends on the exciting wavelength, section thickness, and the structure under observation. The degree of autofluorescence emission of a given component affects the fluorescence reaction induced by fluorochromes, a feature which must be taken into account when fluorescence microscopy is applied to the study of Epon sections.
