(a) Schematic illustration of the SWITCH/TDE clearing method. (b) 1 mm-thick slice of an adult human brain sample before and after the treatment. (c) Images of SYTOX Green labeled tissue at different depths. Scale bar = 100μm. (d) Images of NeuN immunostained tissue at different depths. Scale bar = 50μm. Acquisition obtained with TPFM. (e) Representative images of cleared tissues immunostained with various antibodies and DAPI (4,6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole, Dihydrochloride). Scale bar = 50μm.
