title: A method for processing light microscopy sections for oriented ultramicrotomy.
abstract: A simple technique is described for processing optical microscopy sections attached to glass slides for ultramicrotomy in any desired plane. A silicone rubber mold with a central orifice is clamped onto the slide so that the orifice overlies the section. Routine processing and embedding procedures are carried out in the well formed by the orifice.
