A method and composition are disclosed that are useful for processing biological samples. In one aspect, a biological sample such as a tissue section is treated using a histochemical technique and is contacted with a lipid compound during the process to enhance the definition of cellular and sub-cellular features that are observable in the sample when it is viewed microscopically. In other aspects, a coverslipping composition that includes a lipid compound and a method of coverslipping a sample using the coverslipping composition are disclosed. |
