Fig. 1

A perforated anodised aluminium slide for clearing and CLSM imaging of small specimens. a The anodised slide is shown at the top; note the holes that serve as containers for the specimens. A conventional glass microscope slide and a ruler (in cm) are shown below the slide for comparison. b Preparation of the aluminium slide for tissue clearing. A ring of nail varnish (denoted in red) and a cover slip are placed over the perforated area. c The slide is then turned upside down to place the specimens into the holes and to place a drop of methyl salicylate (denoted in blue) on the perforated area
