Optimizing tissue-clearing conditions based on analysis of the critical factors affecting tissue-clearing procedures

Abstract Tissue-clearing techniques have received great attention for volume imaging and for the potential to be applied in optical diagnosis. In principle, tissue clearing is achieved by reducing light scattering through a combination of lipid removal, size change, and matching of the refractive in...
