The present disclosure relates to the technical field of frozen section-related equipment, and particularly to a frozen sample holder having an identification ring.
Freezing sectioning is the most widely applied method of conventional histological slide preparation techniques. Frozen sections are not only used to observe the morphological structure of normal cell tissues, but also represent a main method adopted, clinically and in scientific research, in disciplines, such as pathology and forensic science, for studying, observing, and judging the morphological changes of cell tissues, and have also been widely applied in the research of many other fields of discipline.
During the process of freezing sectioning pathological tissues, it has always been a difficulty to mark frozen sample holders in a freezing microtome; although the marker can be realized by printing and pasting using papers, the papers would easily undergo accidents such as falling off after freezing, being cut by a knife or the like, which results in confused samples, causing medical malpractice.
