Correlative microscopy and block-face imaging (CoMBI) method for both paraffin-embedded and frozen specimens

Abstract Correlative microscopy and block-face imaging (CoMBI), a method that we previously developed, is characterized by the ability to correlate between serial block-face images as 3-dimensional (3D) datasets and sections as 2-dimensional (2D) microscopic images. CoMBI has been performed for the...
