Hi Jackie
 "Can someone advise me the best way to preserve (Liguid nitrogen, OCT, 
fixed?)  and visualize tissues from animals which have been administered 
(in vivo) a fluorescent probe"  Strange question. Your  tissue does not
appear to be fixed.
For animal experiments the best is to paraformaldhye perfuse, then
cryoprotect with sucrose, snap freeze the blocks, nooct,  Cut and store the
sections at -80oc.

OK - so I read my own question and it doesn't make enough sense.    Maybe 
I can elaborate a bit - 

Is it possible to administer a fluorescent probe in vivo (Like GFP) 
visualize that probe in vivo, then harvest tissues and be able to see that 
probe in frozen sections using a fluorescent scope?

Can someone advise me the best way to preserve (Liguid nitrogen, OCT, 
fixed?)  and visualize tissues from animals which have been administered 
(in vivo) a fluorescent probe? 
Thanks,

Jackie O' on a crummy Friday morning fighting fires again as usual.
