[Histonet] Paraffin vs. Cryostat

[amitapandey <@t> torrentpharma.com]

Frozen sections are not good to study the histology. 
Frozen are better for immediate diagnosis , enzyme study and special 
staining like IHC- where formalin masked some of antigens.

Dear all,
I have a very basic (maybe stupid) question regarding the problem when
should one use paraffin sections or better cryo sections. Since I have 
heard
so different opinions I would be glad to receive some founded
recommendations and/or literature references comparing these two 
techniques.
Thanks for your help!
Joachim
