Abstract: Devices and methods for capturing and imaging a specimen, such as a living organism, are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method for imaging a living organism in vivo includes placing at least one specimen into a hydrogel polymer on a substrate, and curing the hydrogel to embed the at least one specimen within the cured hydrogel such that the at least one specimen is kept alive and the movement of the at least one specimen within the cured hydrogel is restricted. The at least one embedded specimen can be imaged.
