title: [Method of producing histological preparations, equivalent to the large-area semithin sections, for multipurpose morphological studies].
abstract: The effective methods for producing large-area semithin sections are presently still unavailable. The method is suggested to alternatively solve this problem without the very procedure of histological sectioning. It includes a modified combination of the methods of tissue fixation and embedding in epoxy resin with the known technique of preparing the ground sections. This method of slide preparation for the microscopical study of large area biological objects gives an additional valuable opportunity, since it allows to study heterogeneous complexes consisting of soft and hard (cartilaginous and bone) tissues without their prior decalcination.
