3D histology imaging services

End-to-end 3D histology services for intact tissue analysis

Alpenglow Biosciences supports 3D tissue imaging workflows from sample preparation to whole tissue imaging, volumetric datasets, AI-powered analysis, and quantitative tissue analysis for digital pathology and spatial profiling studies.

Built around Aurora 3Di, 3Dm, and 3Dai to connect imaging, data management, and analysis in one 3D spatial biology workflow.

Service pathway

From tissue to quantitative 3D data

Alpenglow Biosciences helps teams move from intact tissue samples to volumetric datasets, spatial profiling, and quantitative tissue analysis without building the full 3D histology workflow internally.

Plan and prepare the sample

We support study planning, tissue handling, clearing, staining, and marker strategy for intact tissue workflows.

  • Sample preparation guidance
  • Marker and assay planning
  • Workflow design for pilot or translational studies

Deliverables

What your team receives

The service is designed to give research, translational, biomarker, and pathology teams usable 3D tissue data, not just image files. Outputs can support visualization, spatial profiling, and quantitative tissue analysis.

Volumetric 3D datasets

Whole tissue imaging outputs preserve spatial context across intact tissue volumes, helping teams review tissue architecture, cellular organization, and biological structures in 3D.

Whole tissue imaging

Processed imaging files

Volumetric datasets can be processed for visualization, review, and downstream interpretation, reducing the burden of handling large 3D tissue imaging files internally.

Data processing

Quantitative tissue analysis

Study outputs can include spatial measurements, morphology, distances, densities, cell counts, or other quantitative readouts matched to the biological question.

Quantitative readouts

AI-powered analysis outputs

When the study requires scalable analysis, AI-powered workflows can support segmentation, quantification, and spatial profiling across 3D tissue datasets.

AI-powered analysis

Study-specific reporting

Results can be summarized around the study goals, giving teams a clearer path from 3D histology imaging outputs to interpretation and next-step decisions.

Spatial biology support

2D vs 3D histology

Add intact tissue context to slide-based insight

2D sections are useful, but many spatial biology questions depend on depth, continuity, and full-volume architecture.

2D sections

A thin plane through tissue

  • Limited tissue volume sampled
  • Spatial relationships inferred across sections
  • Complex structures can be harder to follow
3D histology services

A volumetric view of intact tissue

  • Whole tissue imaging across depth
  • Spatial profiling with preserved architecture
  • AI-powered analysis and quantitative tissue analysis
