Technovit 7200 VLC is an excellent embedding medium for both inorganic histochemistry by light microscopy and X-ray microanalysis by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Liver samples from rats after intraperitoneal treatment with aluminum chloride were fixed in glutaraldehyde and embedded in the resin. Thick sections were easily cut on an ultramicrotome and stained with aluminon for aluminum (Al). An intense positive reaction with aluminon was observed in the Kupffer cells by light microscopy. The surface structures of the same resin block cut for light microscopy were observed under a scanning electron microscope fitted with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. The Kupffer cells appeared white in the backscattered mode. Localization of Al in the Kupffer cells was confirmed by an X-ray distribution map in the scanning electron microscope. Subcellular localization of Al in the Kupffer cells was performed on the same semithin sections using a transmission electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. Most Al was found in lysosomes of the Kupffer cells. The resin was stable in the electron beam and chlorine-free.
