The acquisition pipeline. We cut tissue samples into ultrathin slices using Harvard’s automatic tape-collecting lathe ultramicrotome (Atlum) and image them using an EM. We then store the acquired image tiles in a data archive. After 2D mipmap generation, the data can be used for different applications, such as visualization, segmentation, and fine-grained registration.
