A Rapid Approach to High-Resolution Fluorescence Imaging in Semi-Thick Brain Slices

The footage above shows how neuroscientists use the Compresstome^® tissue slicer to obtain brain slices for imaging studies. When using the Compresstome^® tissue is embedded inside one of the specimen tubes. The specimen tube is made of two pieces: the inner plastic plunger and the outer metal tube. The inner plastic plunger is where you will mount your sample. The plunger is drawn down for your tissue sample to be embedded inside the metal tube.
