With respect to both plant micro technique and animal micro technique, four types of methods are commonly used, which are whole mounts, smears, squashes, and sections, in recent micro experiments.[2] Plant micro technique contains direct macroscopic examinations, freehand sections, clearing, maceration, embedding, and staining.[3] Moreover, three preparation ways used in zoological micro observations are paraffin method, celloidin method, and freezing method.[4]
