  • Method of rapidly and completely rendering lipid-droplet-rich tissue transparent
    Patent number: 11415494
    Abstract: A method of rapidly and completely rendering a tissue (11) rich in lipid droplets (12) transparent. The method comprises the following steps: providing a tissue sample (11) rich in lipid droplets (12) and immobilized with a hydrogel; performing a pre-transparency-rendering process on the tissue sample (11) to obtain a pre-processed sample; performing a transparency-rendering process on the pre-processed sample to obtain a transparency-rendered sample; and performing a post-transparency-rendering process on the transparency-rendered sample to obtain a final transparency-rendered sample (31). The method does not damage the fine structure of a biological tissue (11) and can significantly increase a depth of an optical image of the biological tissue (11). The method does not damage the fine structure of a biological tissue (11) and can significantly increase a depth of an optical image of the biological tissue (11).
