title: A simple procedure for preparing and staining undecalcified sections of avian growth plate and metaphysis.
abstract: This report describes an inexpensive, rapid technique for preparing 4-micron-thick undecalcified sections of avian growth plate and metaphysis using paraffin embedment, rotary microtomes, and disposable knives. Sections were stained by von Kossa's technique with a hematoxylin-and-eosin counterstain.
