Abstract:
1. A device for supporting excised tissue during imaging of said excised tissue having a refractive index comprising: a window having a surface for imaging through upon which excised tissue is locatable; at least one member for restraining said excised tissue against said window to keep at least one surface of the excised tissue against said window when said excised tissue is located upon said surface of said window; and a liquid medium disposed with the excised tissue when located upon said surface of said window, said liquid medium having an index of refraction selected in accordance with the index of refraction of said at least one surface of said excised tissue so that said immersion medium minimizes differences in optical path length of an illumination beam when transmitted through said at least one surface of the excised tissue and extending below said at least one surface of the excised tissue to at least one location in the excised tissue.
