Event description: 

Demystifying tissue clearing: unobstructed 3D imaging with the UltraMicroscope Blaze™. Find out which technique best suits your application and clarify your comprehension of sample preparation for light sheet microscopy during our on-site seminar.

Sample preparation for 3D imaging of whole intact tissue requires the optical clearing and immunostaining of opaque tissues. The heterogeneity of biological tissues causes light to scatter as it enters and traverses a sample.
Clearing aims to homogenize the refractive index (RI) of tissue while preserving the desired signal for detection during imaging. Join us on September 13 to explore protocols and practical considerations designed to help you obtain the best results from your 3D analysis pipeline.
You’ll also get the chance to observe 3D renderings of cleared tissue acquired using innovative light sheet microscopy technology on the UltraMicroscope Blaze.
