Mounting brains on vibratome platform

Set up the workspace and materials needed before mounting the brain on the vibratome platform. This establishes a clean, ready-to-use area for the procedure.

Use the mask material to hold the brain in place on the vibratome platform. Ensure the mask is applied well for stable, reliable sectioning.

Place and orient the brain on the platform so it is properly aligned for cutting. Confirm the brain sits firmly within the masking setup.

Check that the brain is securely mounted and ready for sectioning. Make any final adjustments to ensure the platform is stable before proceeding.
