Ultramicrotomy is a specialized technique used for preparing extremely thin sections of materials for microscopic analysis, particularly in the fields of nanotechnology, biology, and materials science ...

The following article is the first of a three-part series on imaging large whole mount brain sections for neuroscience research. The series covers sectioning/staining, scanning, and data management.

Today's scanning electron microscopes achieve ∼2-nm spot diameters at landing energies low enough that only the top few nanometers of the block's surface contributes substantially to the acquired ...
