Automated Slide Scanning and Segmentation in Fluorescently-labeled Tissues Using a Widefield High-content Analysis System
Published on: May 3, 2018
Abstract:
INTRODUCTIONWhen mounting sections on a slide, it is essential that the slide be ultraclean. To ensure that the section sticks to the slide, slides can be covered with a thin layer of gelatin. The process of cleaning and gelatin-coating is called "subbing." Several boxes of slides should be subbed at a time and stored, covered, in the refrigerator until they are needed. Subbed slides can also be purchased commercially.

Fixation and Sectioning
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
