A novel imaging method for correlating 2D light microscopic data and 3D volume data based on block-face imaging

Abstract We have developed an imaging method designated as correlative light microscopy and block-face imaging (CoMBI), which contributes to improve the reliability of morphological analyses. This method can collect both the frozen sections and serial block-face images in a single specimen. The froz...
