Patrick,
Preparing frozen sections of mouse eyeballs is difficult, especially if you
would like to retain the morphology of the structures of interest.
We have been successful using the CryoJane Tape-Transfer system. Please
visit the Instrumedics' web site for the details on the CryoJane method.
If you have any questions please contact us.

Subject: [Histonet] Cryosectioning mouse Eyeball
I have a couple of Researchers here who are interested in cryosectioning
mouse eyeballs to look at the corneas. I have given them a few hints
(colder temperatures, cutting quickly and evenly, etc.) but they are
having variable results. I was wondering if anyone has any further
hints. Is there some sort of freezing media that someone would
recommend? We are using Tissue-Tek OCT. Thanks,
