Dissolve LiBH4 (STREM Chemicals, cat no. 93-0397; purchase in 1 g aliquots) into diH2O (Quality Biological, cat no. 351-029-101) and allow to sit at RT for 10 minutes until the formation of bubbles occurs (not shown in video). Pass the solution through a 0.22 μm syringe filter (Millipore Sigma, cat no. SLGSM33SS) attached to a 20 mL syringe (EXEL Int., cat no. 26280) to remove any impurities prior to use (not shown).

Always prepare LiBH4 solution in a chemical fume hood with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Mixing LiBH4 with diH2O will generate hydrogen gas which is highly flammable. For this reason, we always work with small amounts of LiBH4 relative to the amount of water initially added. We do not mix >10 mg of LiBH4 with diH2O. This amount can be quickly diluted to 1 mg/mL with volumes handled by standard serological pipets/pipet-aids. Always wrap LiBH4 stock with parafilm (suggest Bemis Company Inc., cat no. S37440) and store in the presence of desiccant. We recommend replacing LiBH4 every 4 weeks as repeated exposure to moisture/air has been observed to reduce fluorophore inactivation efficacy. Be sure to follow institutional guidelines for proper disposal of hazardous chemicals.

The formation of bubbles indicates the solution is ready for filtration and subsequent use. For best results, use solution immediately after filtration. We have noted effective fluorophore inactivation up to 4 hours after initial dissolution of LiBH4.

Coat a glass slide by adding 15 μL chrome alum-gelatin to one side. Spread evenly using the edge of a cover slip or a separate glass slide via the blood smear technique. Note, it may require multiple spreading passages with the slide to ensure even coating of chrome alum-gelatin without streaks. If chrome alum-gelatin pools on the slide, aspirate excess fluid and respread as these accumulations can result in autofluorescence artifacts during image acquisition. Be mindful of stated expiration date on chrome alum-gelatin.

For best results, prepare chrome alum-gelatin coated slides freshly (i.e., the day of tissue sectioning) or no more than 7 days prior to tissue sectioning. If chrome alum-gelatin coated slides are prepared ahead of sectioning, store at room temperature (do not freeze as this will compromise the adhesive properties).

Dry coated slide in oven at 60°C for 1 hour.

We purchase chrome alum-gelatin from Newcomer Supply, but recipes are available online if this item does not ship to your country (e.g. [this recipe](https://www.laboratorynotes.com/preparation-of-chrome-alum-containing-gelatin-solution-for-preparation-of-coated-slides-for-histological-tissue-sections/))

Remove as much PBS as possible without drying out tissues. Quickly add the minimum amount of Fluoromount-G mounting medium necessary to completely cover each tissue section. Gently cover with a coverslip. We typically use 10 – 40 μL per tissue section. Ensure there are no bubbles on or near tissue.

The usual recommendation is to stay mostly in focus for all of your Z planes, so that subsequent 2D projections (such as a maximum intensity projection or extended depth of focus projection) will be clearer.
