Abstract
Heat, chemical catalysts and UV-light are the most popular forms of polymerisation for current EM resin systems. LR Gold is polymerised by blue-light. Epoxides can only be cured by heat to produce sectionable blocks. It is possible but impracticable to cure Epoxy resins with UV-light or chemical catalysts (Glauert, 1975). However, considerably longer times are needed for the tissue to be present in an organic monomer (Sect. 1.3.1). These methods are not used routinely and references to them in the literature are scarce.
