Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to methods for immobilizing a biological specimen for extended periods of time for image capture. Specific embodiments may be used to support a target specimen in a gel matrix. In some embodiments, the biological specimen may be in liquid form at elevated temperatures, a stain and/or lyse may be added to the biological specimen, and a gelling composition may added. At reduced temperatures, the gelling composition may still the biological specimen to immobilize a biological specimen for extended periods of time for image capture.
