Compatibility of UbasM and current advanced clearing methods for lipophilic fluorescent dye - DiI. (ad) Confocal fluorescence images of DiI-labeled neural tracts in the hippocampus (in the 1-mm-thick brain slices) with optical clarification by UbasM, CUBIC, uDISCO and ScaleSQ(5) respectively. Significant deformation was noted after CUBIC, uDISCO treatment and obvious deformation after ScaleSQ(5) treatment while no deformation after UbasM treatment. Scale bars: 50 μm. More detailed results were obtained before, after 1 h and 24 h clarification (Supplementary Fig. 4).
