Abstract

See full text

A method for fixing a biological sample includes delivering energy through a biological sample that has been removed from a subject, while fixing the biological sample. A change in speed of the energy traveling through the biological sample is evaluated to monitor the progress of the fixation. A system for performing the method can include a transmitter that outputs the energy and a receiver configured to detect the transmitted energy. A computing device can evaluate the speed of the energy based on signals from the receiver.
