Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) is a novel, unique and fast whole mount imaging technology which generates stunning 3D images plus virtual sections (in 3 orientations) of small biological specimens (1–15 mm). It is ideal for analysis of patterns of gene expression and protein distribution as it can be used with both visible (e.g. LacZ) and fluorescent stains. OPT can also be used on unstained tissue. The virtual sections give cellular levels of resolution, whilst the ...
