General description

Spurr resin is a hydrophobic resin. It is less viscous than epon mixtures and is easier to dispense. The low viscosity of the resin contributes to its penetration in tissue, mineral and dense structures. A low viscosity of 60 cps also allows easy penetration into a variety of difficult materials.

Application

Exceptional penetration for tissue, mineral, and dense structures. A low viscosity of 60 cps allows easy penetration into a variety of difficult materials. Spurr low viscosity embedding kit has been used to embed histological samples like tissues, organs and embryos. It may be used to prepare mineral specimens for polishing. The low viscosity of the Spurr formulation allows rapid infiltration into tissues, minerals, and other dense structures.

Structural plumage colour is one of the most enigmatic sexually selected traits. The information content of structural colour variation is debated, and the heterogeneity of the findings is hard to explain because the proximate background of within-species colour differences is
