UltraMicroscope Blaze™. A microscope designed to visualize 3D intracellular structures and contents of large samples (e.g. whole mice/organs) that have been previously cleared. This is achieved by removing lipid compounds from tissues to facilitate microscopic observations and achieve the highest possible resolution.
