Experiment: Precision-Cut Tissue Slices (PCTS)
In this webinar, Heidi Kreckel will present key findings from her Ph.D. research on tracking cryoprotectant permeation into living peppermint (Mentha x piperita) shoot tips. She will also discuss the use of a vibrating microtome to prepare plant shoot tip sections for live-tissue microscopy experiments, highlighting how the Compresstome vibratome facilitates precise sectioning for high-resolution imaging.

The Compresstome® has been widely used by researchers worldwide for making precision-cut lung slices (PCLS). The Compresstome® uses agarose embedding prior to slicing to allow for the preservation of open alveoli and better tissue compliance. The video above shows Compresstome® sectioning PCLS for immunostaining to visualize the localization of various immune cell types in the lung. This protocol can be extended […]
