Intranuclear birefringent inclusions in paraffin sections by polychromatic polarization microscopy

Abstract Intranuclear birefringent inclusions (IBI) found in various cell types in paraffin-embedded tissue sections have long been considered to be a tissue processing artifact, although an association with biological processes has been suggested. We applied polychromatic polarization microscopy to...
