Résumé
Acquiring ultrahigh-resolution three-dimensional images of large-volume tissues non-human primate tissues was an enormous challenge. Given the preservation of structure and excellent sectioning property, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedding method had an enormous potential for three-dimensional reconstruction of fine structures, based on the very thin histological sections and optical images. However, maintaining the structure uniformly in large-volume tissues was difficult during the complex processes. In this study, we presented a detailed protocol for the whole mouse, rat, rabbit brains, and even for the macaque hemisphere. The entire protocol took about 2-30 days to complete for a large sample, including fixation, dehydration, clearing, wax immersion and embedding. In addition, it could be applied to other species and organs, while the embedding processes depended on the size and the type of organs. This method had wide applicability to serve as a baseline for further technique development.
