Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system for use in the preparation in situ of tissue specimens for histological examination. The system includes a cassette, a specimen mounting card and a base mold. The invention also is directed to a method of processing a tissue sample for histological examination which does not require re-orienting the selected cutting plane in the specimen transfer step. Instead, the tissue sample remains oriented in a desired position throughout processing.
