    Abstract: A device for holding a specimen holder, the device including a body with a slot formed therein. The slot includes an interior for receiving the specimen holder which may be a flat disk with edges and a pair of opposing sides. The disk may be made of a resilient deformable material. The slot may be sized to receive the specimen holder through an open top end and may taper from top bottom, such that the bottom end of the slot is smaller than the specimen holder. The slot further configured to contact the specimen holder along edges of the specimen holder and to allow some sideways deformation of the specimen holder without either side of the specimen holder distant from the edges coming into contact with the interior of the slot.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing and processing serial tissue sections. In one example, an "automatic tape collecting lathe ultramicrotome" (ATLUM) slices a block of tissue sample having various geometries into a continuous ribbon of thin tissue, or multiple thin tissue sections, and disposes the sliced thin tissue on an appropriate substrate to facilitate subsequent imaging of the sliced thin tissue. Closed-loop control of section thickness of the sliced thin tissue sections or ribbons is implemented to produce thinner sliced tissue sections or ribbons and tightly regulate thickness. Thin tissue sections or ribbons may be particularly processed/prepared to facilitate imaging with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Collected thin tissue sections or ribbons may be used to create UltraThin Section Libraries (UTSLs) that allow for fully automated, time-efficient imaging in the SEM to faciliate expansive tissue studies.
