title: [A method of paraffin impregnation and its use in morphologic studies of organs].

They describe the dissection, trimming and fixation of the specimen which is followed by common tissue dehydration and infiltration by paraffin wax. Thus preserved permanent specimen allows both retaining the entire organ and visualizing its particular structures.
