Abstract: | Epidermal peels free from resinous substances and tannins were prepared by treating specimens with 5% NaOH for 1-2 weeks at 40-45 C. After a thorough washing in water epidermal peels were obtained by removing the mesophyll cells by brushing with a soft-haired brush or by moderate agitation in water. Peels stained with iron alum hematoxyh or Bismark brown were found to be good enough to allow detailed histolopical investigation. |
