- 03:53Epifluorescent and Confocal Microscopy of Intact Thick Brain Slices
- 04:16Conclusion
Here we describe a rapid and simple method to image fluorescently labeled cells in semi-thick brain slices. By fixing, slicing, and optically clearing brain tissue we describe how standard epifluorescent or confocal imaging can be used to visualize individual cells and neuronal networks within intact nervous tissue.
