[Histonet] Epon resin

[Lesley Weston]

Depends on which tissue you are embedding. The araldite mix is a little
softer and more plastic than the NMA mix, so it's good for soft tissues. But
bone needs a harder medium, as do many implant materials, even after
decalcification, so the NMA mix works better.
