On Friday, December 4, 2009, at 11:27pm, after 53 hours of work, we successfully completed the sectioning procedure!
We have collected 2401 sections. The live video feed has stopped.
2 sections were damaged, so we will use portions of these to optimize staining.
16 sections have been labeled as potentially problematic because of minor glitches in their collection.
All the sections are now preserved in serial order and each will be mounted on a glass slide, stained, and digitized at cellular resolution. This work will amount to a complete microscopic map of the brain of patient H.M. accessible to the public.
Any financial contribution, however modest, will be extremely beneficial to the completion of this historic collection. SPONSOR A SLIDE
