The method eliminates all contact of bone with aqueous solutions. One hundred to 200µ sections are first cut with a guided circular saw. These sections are simultaneously embedded and mounted on glass slides by means of a clear thermoplastic cement, Gelva. The mounted bone sections are then ground to 5–25µ on fine silicon carbide paper. The sections are finally polished with levigated alumina on a cloth pad. A procedure for preparing contact radioautograms of ground bone sections is given and the results obtained are illustrated.
