Like methacrylate, it can penetrate well into foamy structures and the leprosy bacilli within foamy structures. On the other hand, like Epon 812, it is stable against the electron beam and can preserve ultrafine structures. Additionally, we have found that the use of dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide instead of propylene oxide as substituter improves the preservation of the ultrafine structures of leprosy bacilli.</p>
