Abstract:

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an essential tool for studying cells and molecules. We present a tape-based, reel-to-reel pipeline that combines automated serial sectioning with automated high-throughput TEM imaging. This acquisition platform provides nanometer-resolution imaging at fast rates for a fraction of the cost of alternative approaches. We demonstrate the utility of this imaging platform for generating datasets of biological tissues with a focus on examining brain circuits.
