2026
Incremental cash flows are a critical consideration for evaluating leasing versus purchasing decisions. These include lease payments, potential tax benefits, and cost savings relative to buying. Analyzing these cash flows provides valuable insights into the financial implications of leasing and helps determine its suitability for a business.Leasing involves recurring payments that are compared against the costs and benefits of ownership, such as maintenance expenses and tax advantages like...

We present a protocol to use 3D-printed mounts to fix increment cores in the field without the necessity of unpacking and gluing them on wooden mounts. The new GSC holder allows placing the cores in a core microtome to cut their surface and directly transfer them to digital image capturing.

Whole-Mount In Situ Hybridization

Whole-mount in situ hybridization (WMISH) is a common technique used for visualizing the location of expressed RNAs in embryos. In this process, synthetically produced RNA probes are first complementarily bound, or "hybridized," to the transcripts of target genes. Immunohistochemistry or fluorescence is then used to detect these RNA hybrids, revealing spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression. Unlike traditional in situ hybridization techniques, which require thin tissue sections whose...

Here, we describe a protocol for whole mount immunofluorescence and image-based quantitative volumetric analysis of early stage mouse embryos. We present this technique as a powerful approach to qualitatively and quantitatively assess cardiac structures during development, and propose that it may be widely adaptable to other organ systems.

As opposed to measurement during free swimming, which presents inherent challenges and limitations, determination of important parameters of cardiorespiratory function for swimmers can be made using a more feasible and easier to administer tethered-swimming rapidly incremented protocol with gas exchange and ventilatory data collection.
FAQs
The stepwise addition or adjustment of mounting medium allows the specimen to be checked and repositioned before the preparation is fully secured. Maintaining orientation at each stage helps keep anatomical or cellular features aligned and visible. This control is especially valuable when later imaging must support reliable comparisons among specimens.
Delicate or uneven samples can be difficult to stabilize without affecting their structure. Incremental Mounting provides opportunities to support the specimen gradually and correct its position while visibility remains available. By limiting abrupt changes during preparation, the approach can reduce distortion and help retain fine features needed for morphological examination.
Mounting all at once provides less opportunity to inspect and adjust the specimen during preparation. Incremental Mounting separates positioning, support, and securing into successive decisions, so orientation and visibility can be monitored throughout the process. This difference can improve stability and make the final preparation more suitable for consistent microscopy.
The main considerations are the specimen’s orientation, structural delicacy, unevenness, stability, and visibility during successive mounting steps. Each adjustment should preserve access to the features being examined while supporting the sample adequately. Managing these variables influences whether the final preparation minimizes distortion and yields images that can be interpreted consistently.
First, position the specimen so the relevant anatomical or cellular features remain visible. Add or adjust mounting medium in successive stages, checking orientation and support after each change. Continue refining the position until the sample is stable, then secure the preparation for imaging. The workflow emphasizes controlled observation rather than a single irreversible step.
Researchers may choose this technique when a specimen is delicate, uneven, or difficult to position reliably. It is particularly relevant when preserving fine structure and obtaining comparable images matter more than completing the preparation in one step. The method supports research, teaching, and morphological analysis where specimen presentation affects interpretation.
A well-controlled preparation can improve specimen stability, preserve visible anatomical or cellular detail, and reduce distortion during imaging. These outcomes support more reliable image acquisition and comparisons across samples. In teaching and morphological analysis, consistent presentation can also make structural features easier to examine and relate between specimens.
