Advances in imaging have led to the development of several new types of microscopes such as serial block face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM), lightsheet microscopy, as well as X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), which enables the study of samples in fundamentally different ways. Significantly, these are now commercially available, which facilitates their widespread use in research. With SBF-SEM, fixed and resin-embedded specimens can be serially sectioned and imaged to construct a 3D dataset of the ultrastructure of cells and tissues at high resolution. We used this technique on perfusion-fixed C57BL/6 mouse eyes to image the outer retina.
