[Histonet] Vibratome sections of unfixed tissues

We have not done unfixed tissue via vibratome, but we have done
paraformaldehyde fixed and we use gelatin to create a block with the
tissue in it.

Subject: [Histonet] Vibratome sections of unfixed tissues

How does one mount unfixed tissues for vibratome sectioning?  Are they
encased in any medium such as agarose or gelatin, or simply glued onto
the stage and sectioned?  I can't seem to find information on this
anywhere.

Thanks, and have a great weekend all!
