Near-isotropic, aligned volume electron microscopy (eFIB-SEM) of Mouse hippocampus (jrc_mus-hippocampus-2)

<b>Sample</b>: 2–3 month old male mouse, strain: C57BL/6J from Jackson Lab.<b>Sample Description</b>: This dataset was acquired from the CA1 region of the mouse hippocampus using a hybrid fixation and staining protocol optimized for primary cilia visualization. Tissue from a 2–3-month-old male C57BL/6J mouse was perfused with 3% paraformaldehyde, sectioned, and processed through high-pressure freezing in 1-hexadecene. The sample was freeze-substituted in osmium tetroxide, uranyl acetate, and either 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole or imidazole, and embedded in Durcupan resin. Sample preparation was performed by Shu-Hsien Sheu. Imaging and post-processing were completed by C. Shan Xu (Yale), Gleb Shtengel, and Harald Hess (HHMI/Janelia).<b>Protocol</b>: Two datasets were acquired from the CA1 region of the mouse hippocampus using a hybrid fixation and staining protocol optimized for primary cilia visualization. 2–3-month-old male C57BL/6 mice were perfused with 3% paraformaldehyde and post-fixed in modified PFA buffer for 2 hours. Tissue was rinsed in 400 mOsM buffer and sectioned (100 µm) on a vibratome. Sections were fixed overnight in 1% PFA and 2% glutaraldehyde. 2 mm punches were high-pressure frozen in 1-hexadecene, freeze-substituted in osmium tetroxide, uranyl acetate, and either 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole or imidazole. Samples were embedded in Durcupan resin.<b>Contributions</b>: Sample prepared by Shu-Hsien Sheu. Imaging and post-processing by C.
