People do this all the time, and this is found in literature.  A PUBMED
search will help you glean a lot of knowledge, at least methods. Access
this publication: Zhuo L et al, Live astrocytes visualized by green
fluorescent protein in transgenic mice, Developmental Biology 187:36-42,
1997.  

They did 300 um vibrotome section on brain, far thicker than you want to
use.  Even though this is for GFP and fluorescent work, their methods and
materials were excellent.
