Bostrom's paper on whole brain emulation has a section on microscopy that might be of interest. The part of the paper on scanning starts on p. 40, and there's a table which compares different scanning methods on p. 53.

Thanks for the pointer. Sadly, the techniques discussed all require slicing up the brain before imaging.
