摘要：, termed RTF (Rapid clearing method based on Triethanolamine and Formamide), aiming for better clearing capability. The results show that RTF can not only efficiently clear embryos, neonatal brains and adult brain blocks, but also preserve fluorescent signal of both endogenous fluorescent proteins and lipophilic dyes, and be compatible with virus labeling and immunostaining. With the good transparency and versatile compatibility, RTF allows visualization and tracing of fluorescent labeling cells and neuronal axons combined with different imaging techniques, showing potentials in facilitating observation of morphological architecture and visualization of neuronal networks.
