New Brain and Whole Body Tissue Clearing Techniques for Imaging

November 3, 2014 12:00 pm EST

Imaging deeply into intact tissue has long been a challenge for microscopy that often 
required multiphoton excitation. An alternate strategy has been to use a “clearing” 
technique to reduce or remove the light obstructing molecules from within a tissue. 
Recently, new clearing strategies have been described that clear brain tissue and 
preserve genetically encoded labels and the antigenicity of native molecules. In this 
webinar, we will hear from Olga Efimova, Viviana Gradinaru and Kwanghun Chung who 
will discuss the latest techniques being developed in their labs to rapidly clear intact brain 
and other tissues. This webinar is for anyone interested in learning about how these new 
methods can be applied to aid the imaging of whole organs and tissues using widely 
accessible tools like laser scanning confocal microscopes and newly developed 
microscopes using light sheet illumination.
