METHOD FOR ENHANCING THE OPTICAL TRANSPARENCY OF AREAS OF A TISSUE SAMPLE

A method for increasing the optical transparency of regions of a tissue sample (1) is proposed, in which the tissue sample (1) is introduced into a process chamber (10) and is infiltrated in the process chamber (10) with at least one process fluid (2), and in which a removal of light-scattering stru...

Zusammenfassung:A method for increasing the optical transparency of regions of a tissue sample (1) is proposed, in which the tissue sample (1) is introduced into a process chamber (10) and is infiltrated in the process chamber (10) with at least one process fluid (2), and in which a removal of light-scattering structures in the tissue sample (1) is carried out. The method encompasses monitoring the optical transparency of the tissue sample (1), at least during a clearing time period in which the tissue sample (1) is introduced into the process chamber (10) and in which the removal of the light-scattering structures in the tissue sample (1) is carried out, by means of an optical transparency measuring arrangement (13) associated with the process chamber (10). An apparatus (100) for carrying out the method is also a subject of the invention.
