Whole brain mounting for confocal imaging
Form a putty cylinder
Roll a piece of BluTack putty into a cylinder with uniform thickness. The cylinder should be several centimeters in length with a thickness greater than that of the brain sample.
Place putty on a glass dish
Shape the putty cylinder into a horseshoe U shape. Place the putty onto the flat side (outside) of a Willco glass dish.
