Abstract :
Conventional histologic techniques cannot readily be used for 3D reconstruction of large tissue volumes. We have developed an imaging rig which supports both confocal and light microscopy, and utilizes a surface imaging approach to serially image embedded tissue blocks while maintaining alignment and registration of the image series
