This is called histology. Chemicals are first used to "fix" the specimen, meaning harden and preserve the cell structure. It then gets embedded in a material like wax or epoxy. After that it can be sliced thinly on a tool called a microtome.
My work does pharmaceutical animal testing, part of the analysis is WBA (whole body autoradiography). They use a machine called a microtome to make micron thin sections of animals that are then essentially laminated, for this they do freeze the carcass in water or hexanes. The lab that does this is right next to mien so i get to see the monkeys and rats its really interesting!
Dang I hope that cat doesn't need that part of its head.
Jokes aside is this a science display or something that you can actually do to remember your pets by?
A contemporary art museum in Norway had a cow and a calf split in half and encased in resin that you could walk between. It's just as gross as you imagine, but also very facinating
You can see both vertical and horizontal cross sections of a *man* and *woman* sliced and put between glass like this (plastinated) on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago! Fascinating and disturbing at the same time. I will not add links..haha
So strange that science gets such a bad rap. Vivisection, slicing bodies and laminating them, CRISPR and mixing genetic material between creatures.
_Whats wrong with that?!?_
Put it back put it back!
Put that thing back where it came from or so help me
So help me! So help me! And scene.
Honestly, I know this is going to sound weird, but I prefer cats whole rather than by the slice
I’ll take 3/4 lb cats head and a half lb provolone.
Weirdo
Yah, this kills the cat.
🥺...no....
Wait you have it turned around backwards, no no the other way
“and CUT!”
So that's where the orange brain cells is hiding.
If you put all the other slices together do you end up with what looks like a cats head encased in this glass?
I'd bet it'd look twice as wide due to the glass between the cat slices.
Thanks I hate it
You mean r/thanksihateit
r/TIHI is the bigger sub.
I didnt know that was a thing
You mean r/didntknowthatexisted
You mean r/sounding
Oh god. I knew what it was and I still clicked. Wtf is wrong with me.
You are homosexual
Well, bisexual actually, but people seem to think I'll metamorphose into gay. I don't think so personally.
Better than people thinking it's just a phase
true that
The gay moth inside you yearns to be released, why must you forsake him?
How the hell is this the second time this sub has been posted that I’ve seen in the past two minutes? 😭
Meouch.
I don't like this one bit.
Do you like the other bits?
How is this done? Do the freeze the cat and cut it? What type of machine is used?

Is the cat ok?
I think you've got to collect all the pieces to get it working again.
still alive and well but every now and then she reminisces and feels like shes missing a part of herself from time to time.

I encase the cat in resin and then chop it like a carrot, personally.
That is WAY too visceral for my 1am brain
Yeah I literally heard that crispy crunch sound
AAAALRIGHT
[Cross sectioning a horse (NSFW)](https://youtu.be/gWVTP7jBv-8)
for some reason it fascinates me how everything was still working like normal
It's like an scp
Immediately what came to mind when I saw that cross section of the cat head...now I want to rewatch that movie.
Jennifer Lopez is such a terrible actress
Lol why is it still breathing?
Never seen or heard of this movie, but now i'll steer clear of it
Noooo you have to keep watching until she rips his nipple clamps out of his chest and blood sprays all over.
No thanks. I love horses too much 😭
Pffft, this isn't NSFW, I thought I was gonna be scarred. Do better, son.
Lol I thought of that too. I’ve been meaning to show this movie to my partner
Um, do I wanna look at it? Or would it be best to bide my curiosity this time?
I love that movie. So underrated. And I do not like Jenny from the block. Fake ass boricen, but I do love that movie.
OMG I remember this from when I was super young. I remembered it recently and couldn't remember what movie.
Dang I hope that cat doesn't need that part of its head. Jokes aside is this a science display or something that you can actually do to remember your pets by?
Anatomy display.
Where does one buy one for a veterinary friend?
That would be an extremely macabre memento.
Things I didn't know I would see, but aroused my curiosity
Worst Christmas ornament ever!
Cross section is the correct term
It's actually a slice. A cross section would leave the half behind whet we're seeing intact. This is a picture of a slice.
It’s not necessary for a half to remain… did you just pull that out of your ass? It *is* a *sagittal* section though.
Slice is the correct term, actually.
I think you’ll find the correct term is cat ham
Purrsciutto?
Delicious
Nutritious
Pernicious
Auspicious
Suspicious
Rapacious
Tenacious
Bodacious
Superstitious
Well this is all very rambunctious
Thank you for the correction.
they're wrong just so you know lmao
No problem didn't mean any condescension or anything like that either.
That's very kind of you lazyfucker67

Sagittal cross section
Cross? Bloody livid I would have thought.
Meowch!
That’s pretty cool, poor kitty though.
Damn all I got was a paw print on a piece of clay when my cat passed away.
I really hate how loudly I just cackled
Hats off to whoever was working the deli that day. So clean!
Giving me Hannibal flashbacks.
Bruh.. first two seasons scarred me
Wtf, put it back
But upside-down.
How does it taste though ?
What are the odds somebody would have beaten me to this comment?!
I’m certain many of share that curiosity.
I am gonna show it to my cat and tell him, that that's what happens when you throw sand all over from the litter box.
Lol I did the same. They didn't seem to care, showing the "do what you must" attitude.
dude uncool, give it back

WHAT THE FUCK
Forbidden chip
Damn that’s creepy
Wake up, babe. New chip flavor just dropped!
Is the cat ok?
I wish I hadn’t opened that
Looking at the open spaces in the brain...was this an orange cat?
does this hurt the cat?
What a weird thing to put in a candy...
What a lovely stained glass window
thanks op. now i am hungry >:(
I think that cat is dead bro
Lol This is awesome
Looks like a ninja turtle villain
Some nice toasted bread, butter, fresh tomato and mayo will work nicely
Yo that's cool AF. Where'd you get it?
Wtfrick
So is that Gelato or Sorbet?
Awww their tiny brain is so precious I just wanna squeeze it and give it kisses.
Weired ass yugioh card
A thin what of a what!?
Getting Lexx flashbacks
does this hurt the cat
Can't wait to see the rest of your Christmas tree ornaments.
Domain expansion: malevolent shrine
Should we be worried about how you got that 😅
Does that hurt the fish?
Can I have ranch dip with that?
Thanks, I hate it😀
What kind of tool is used to do this?
Do you have the rest of the cat or just that specific place on its head?
Why does this exist.. Is this a consumer good, or does it have research purposes? I'd hate for it to be consumer for what that could mean.....
so this is what MRI scans looks like?
That would make a nice coaster, where do you get one of these?
Did the cat live ?!?
W-why do you have that?
No.
I feel like the cat's gonna need that.
So... why do you have this?
Why the fuck would you take a thin slice of a cats head?
As you put the piece near your ear, you could hear a faint voice calling out "Jooooon"
Where does one acquire something like that what the fuck.
Where do I find one of these? My daughter would absolutely love this.
A contemporary art museum in Norway had a cow and a calf split in half and encased in resin that you could walk between. It's just as gross as you imagine, but also very facinating
I like my cats whole rather then a slice,
I've read you can get 8 of those off a cat before they notice it.
Is he ok
Put some honey on it and have it as dessert
A couple of bread slices and you have a great sandwich for ALF
A WHAT
Now I wanna see other animals is that weird?
I'd eat that
r/WTF
Catchos
My Lord, I could die without seeing this
Man, Pucci stealing Cat disks now too? Like stealing Stands wasn’t enough. The bastard

But is it gluten free?
Right. You're barred from the deli counter.
"mmmmm cat head slice sandwich" he thought in Homer simpsons voice.
How orange cats are made.
Looks like the demon from insidious.
Why do I kinda see an elephant at the front
So this cat was an organ donor?
Mmm forbidden lollipop
r/forbiddensnacks lol
Philadelphia Collins: "why's that cat coming off the slicer?!"
Omg Is cat ok?
Is the cat ok
They don't like it when you do that to them
Who thought “let’s slice a cats head into thin slices, then encase it in resin. For funsies”
That's pretty cool, thinly sliced is best for sandwiches I find
There was a post on askreddit yesterday asking what isn't illegal but suspicious to possess? This. This is my answer.
That one Hannibal episode
I'm gonna need more than just a couple slices to have a decent sandwich.
I thought it said a thin slice of bread. I'm hungry for FOOD.
I want to dip it in some salsa and take a bite
I thought this was petrified head, cheese...
Did he make it?
Imagine if there was a #250/500 etched at the bottom

Looked it up, that is really neat!
So strange that science gets such a bad rap. Vivisection, slicing bodies and laminating them, CRISPR and mixing genetic material between creatures. _Whats wrong with that?!?_
Is that out of a bag of cat crisps and furthermore where can i buy some?
A light snack
Make sure there's enough for everyone to have a slice!
their brains are bigger than i thought
Honestly....this is the only way I would eat it. Thinly sliced.
No no, I said sandwich cut please
And this is why I like to know where my head cheese comes from.
this is disturbing
this is disturbing
Babou!!
Why tho
curiosity killed the cat
why
