The molecular organization of cells and tissue is challenging to study due to the inefficiency of multiplexed molecular labeling methods and the limited options for combining microscopy modalities in a single specimen, especially when high spatial resolution is needed. Here we describe ultraplex microscopy, which combines serial multiplexing, ultrathin sectioning, and reversible embedding to circumvent incompatibilities between labeling and imaging techniques, enhance resolution, and expand multiplexing capacity within and across modalities. Samples can be labeled with antibodies, RNA probes, and tissue stains for imaging by brightfield, epifluorescence, super-resolution, and electron microscopy without specialized reagents or materials. We demonstrate applications in brain tissue including molecular profiling of single cells and axonal boutons, high-resolution molecular colocalization, and correlative imaging of fluorescent proteins with confocal and ultraplex microscopy. The power and versatility of ultraplex microscopy will be valuable in addressing currently intractable experimental questions in many systems and contexts.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
