Abstract
Multiple different samples are obtained from a bulk material and are separately stained. The differently stained materials look different with the different stains but also have similar characteristics. A computer is used to reorient the images so that the samples are oriented with one another. The thus oriented samples can have their like parts either reoriented. Once the stained areas are analyzed, the identified area in the unstained sample can be removed by laser capture microdissection.
