ABSTRACT: Light Microscopy Imaging Workflow
Resin-embedded tissue blocks were imaged using a custom-built imaging chamber. Low-magnification imaging datasets (Block FMs) were acquired with an air objective and DIC optics (Surface DIC map), utilizing 405, 488, 543, and/or 650 nm laser lines. Higher-resolution imaging datasets (ROI FMs) were collected with oil- or silicon-immersion objectives. Ultramicrotome camera images of the blocks were also captured. Ultrathin sections (200–300 nm) were prepared on glass slides or slot grids, placed in PBS, and imaged on an inverted Nikon AX-R NSPARC confocal microscope (Section FMs).
