After the spare resin monomer that the mouse brain that will finally permeate is placed in capsule and addition is mixed in vacuum drying oven, It is solidified according to the condition of cure of setting, imaging is carried out by it is slowly dropped to after room temperature cooling, wherein solid Change condition and concretely comprise the following steps:Solidify 8 hours at 40 DEG C of initiation temperature, then solidify 12 hours at 45 DEG C of initiation temperature, Then solidify 6 hours at 50 DEG C of initiation temperature, finally solidify 3 hours at 55 DEG C of initiation temperature.
Table 1
Table 1 is embodiment 1-5 and the species of the embedding medium of the use of comparative example 6, proportioning and refraction after embedding medium allotment Rate list.
Above-described embodiment 1~5 and sample obtained in comparative example 6 are tested by the following method:
Fluorescence microscope test after embedding mouse brain:
Sample:The mouse brain of transgenic mice or SABC is embedded into diameter 1cm according to above-mentioned flow, it is high 1.5cm cylinders, are imaged after being cut flat with using diamond tool.Instrument:The double femto-second laser multiphoton microscopes of German Zeiss. Test condition:Depending on sample concrete condition.
Fig. 2 is the photo that embodiment 1 embeds biological tissue, biological tissue's fully transparentization, it can be seen that on background paper Black grid.
Fig. 3 is that embodiment 2 embeds front and rear biological tissue's Intrinsic fluorescence Protein G FP fluorescence intensities contrast, the GFP after embedding Fluorescence Increasing, the ratio before and after embedding is probably 126%, it can be seen that this transparent resin can be very good to keep endogenous Volume contraction causes fluorescence molecule to be assembled after fluorescin, and dehydration, so as to improve fluorescence intensity.
Fig. 4 is that embodiment 3 embeds the front and rear fluorescence intensities of biological tissue's extrinsic fluorescence dyestuff Alexa 488 contrast;Can be with Find out that fluorescence intensity is 80% or so of reset condition, this this transparent resin of explanation can meet extrinsic fluorescence dyestuff Embedding.
Fig. 5 is the 3D neural network structures of the endogenous GFP marks biological tissue of the embedding of embodiment 4;Can be with neuron Fine structure is all kept well, can carry out the embedding of substantially product sample.
Fig. 6 is that embodiment 5 embeds front and rear biological tissue's extrinsic fluorescence dyestuff CY3 fluorescence intensities contrast;It can be seen that glimmering Luminous intensity is 219% or so of reset condition, because dehydration after-contraction causes fluorescence molecule to be assembled, this this transparence tree of explanation Fat can meet the embedding of extrinsic fluorescence dyestuff.
Fig. 7 is the photo that comparative example 6 embeds front and rear biological tissue, as seen from Figure 7, common acrylate bag The biological tissue buried is substantially opaque, the refractive index and the folding of biological tissue of resin after the common acrylate cures of this explanation Penetrate rate mismatch.
As it will be easily appreciated by one skilled in the art that the foregoing is only presently preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is not used to The limitation present invention, all any modification, equivalent and improvement made within the spirit and principles in the present invention etc., all should include Within protection scope of the present invention.
