Abstract
Serial block face scanning electron microscopy (SBFSEM) is a new technique designed to obtain image slices through specimens inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM) in an automated process. Biological tissue in particular, is prepared by classical en-block staining and resin embedding as used for many years for transmission electron microscopy.
