Abstract
Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) greatly facilitate capturing the ultrastructure of spatially and/or temporally rare events. Here, we present a protocol for targeting regions of interests (ROIs) in tissue endothelial cells (ECs) using X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT). We describe steps for ROI targeting guided by vasculature patterns and positions of EC nuclei visualized by light and X-ray microscopy. The protocol is applicable to thin or translucent tissues that contain defined landmarks visible in both light and X-ray microscopy. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Reglero-Real et al.1.
