Paraffin Block Maker (Tissue Embedding Station)

A paraffin embedding station used in histology to embed fixed and processed tissue samples into paraffin wax blocks. The instrument dispenses molten paraffin at a controlled temperature and provides a cooled surface for orienting and solidifying the specimen.

The resulting blocks are then sectioned with a microtome into thin slices for staining and microscopic examination — a foundational step in tissue-based pathology and research.
