this approach offers several advantages over existing techniques : 1 ) uniform section thickness is more easily obtained than with paraffin or cryostat microtomy , thereby allowing improved resolution and more reliable identification of mesenchymal cells with small nuclei such as skeletal muscle myocytes or fibroblasts , 2 ) the preparations are stable over long periods and can be repeatedly viewed or photographed , and 3 ) calcified tissues can be examined without prior decalcification .
