    Embedding is a technique used to place cells or tissue in a supporting medium like paraffin wax or plastics so that thin sections can be cut using a microtome for analysis under a microscope. The two main types of embedding are paraffin embedding, which uses paraffin wax as the supporting medium, and plastic embedding, which uses plastics like epoxy resins to embed the cells or tissue.
