The acrylic embedding media such as LR White, LR Gold, and others, have long been favored over epoxide embedding media for immunocytochemistry in cases where the antigen is sparse or vulnerable to the chemical activity of epoxy monomers. Since acrylics bond through tissue and not with it as epoxides do (1), Au labeling may increase sharply when acrylics are substituted for epoxides. Unfortunately one serious disadvantage of acrylics is their reduced ability to preserve ultrastructure.
