A tissue specimen stage (20) is provided having a window (10, 10a) with surface (12) curvature upon which an excised tissue specimen (14) is locatable, a carriage (28) having a tissue specimen receptacle (51) to which the window (10, 10a) is mounted, and a platform (23) supporting the carriage (28) and presenting the window (10, 10a) to the objective lens (30) of an optical sectioning microscope. The carriage (28) is mounted to the platform (23) for movement along two rotational axes so that the carriage's movement follows the curvature of all or part of the window (10, 10a) while maintaining the same optical geometry of the window (10, 10a) with respect to the objective lens (30). The window (10, 10a) has surface (12) curvature adapted to at least approximate the shape or curvature of the non-histologically prepared tissue specimen (14) to be placed thereupon. |
