Abstract

Advancement of laser microscopy and molecular probing techniques in recent years has led to the development of various tissue clearing technologies to allow us to visualise a large piece of tissue in 3D. Using an adaptation of a novel tissue clearing technique, CLARITY, we were able to visualise vascularisation of tumour in a completely new dimension. This image is a colourcoded depth projection (z-stack depth = 618.76 m) of a piece of clarified mouse brain tissue with human glioma immunostained with CD31 antibodies, showing large penetrating branches of blood vessels at the tumour margin
