Tsinghua-led team found a new way to make organs transparent that preserves their structure and produces ‘highly accurate and vivid’ images
The new method produced “highly accurate and vivid” 3D images of organs by preserving the integrity of their biological structures and enhancing the brightness of the fluorescent dyes scientists use to highlight cells and molecules.
“[The method] prepares ionic glassy tissue that is highly transparent while maintaining the original tissue morphology,” they wrote.
They added that at low temperatures the tissues formed a glassy solid that maintained its structural integrity and could be stored over the long-term.
