present in the whole brain. Further, the slicing process may itself compromise the tissue. To minimize complications in the slicing process, a more sophisticated tissue slicer may be used such as the Compresstome, a type of vibrating microtome used to maximizes the amount of viable tissue cells.

Free hand sectioning is a type of preparation techniques where a skilled operator uses razor blade for slicing. The blade is wetted with an isotonic solution before cutting to avoid tissue smudging during cutting. This method has several drawbacks such as sample size limitation and difficult to
