Plan apochromat 1.4 na objective

Manufactured by Nikon

The 63x Plan Apochromat 1.4 NA objective is a high-performance optical lens designed for microscopy applications. It provides a large numerical aperture of 1.4, which allows for high-resolution imaging and excellent light-gathering capabilities. The 'Plan Apochromat' designation indicates that the lens is designed to provide a flat field of view with minimal chromatic and spherical aberrations.

The reactions were set up in an eight-well observation chamber (Lab Tek) at room temperature. The chamber was coated with 5 mg/ml β casein for 30 min and washed three times with reaction buffer (20 mM HEPES at pH 8.0, 190 mM NaCl and 1 mM TCEP). A final concentration of 10 µM GST-4xUb, 1 µM NDP52, and 100 nM GFP-FIP200 or GFP-ULK1 complex was used for all reactions unless otherwise specified. 15–20 µL GUVs were added to initiate the reaction in a final volume of 150 µL. After 5 min incubation, during which we picked random views for imaging, time-lapse images were acquired in multitracking mode on a Nikon A1 confocal microscope with a 63 × Plan Apochromat 1.4 NA objective. Three biological replicates were performed for each experimental condition. Identical laser power and gain settings were used during the course of all conditions.

A mixture of 1 µM GST-NDP52 and 100 nM GFP-ULK1 complex was incubated with 10 µL Glutathione Sepharose beads (GE Healthcare) in a reaction buffer containing 20 mM HEPES at pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl and 1 mM TCEP. After incubation at room temperature for 30 min, the beads were washed three times, suspended in 120 µL reaction buffer, and then transferred to the observation chamber for imaging. Images were acquired on a Nikon A1 confocal microscope with a 63 × Plan Apochromat 1.4 NA objective. Three biological replicates were performed for each experimental condition.

A mixture of 0.5 μM GST or GST-tagged cargo receptors and different ATG proteins was incubated with 10 μl of Glutathione Sepharose beads (GE Healthcare) in a reaction buffer containing 20 mM Hepes at pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl, and 1 mM TCEP. The final concentration of different ATG proteins was as follows: 25 nM GFP-ULK1 complex, 25 nM GFP-PI3KC3-C1 complex, 100 nM GFP-WIPI2d, 50 nM ATG12–ATG5-ATG16-GFP complex, and 500 nM mCherry-LC3B. After incubation at room temperature for 60 min, the beads were washed three times, suspended in 120-μl reaction buffer, and then transferred to the observation chamber for imaging. Images were acquired on a Nikon A1 confocal microscope with a 63× Plan Apochromat 1.4 NA objective. Three biological replicates were performed for each experimental condition.

Quantifying Endosomal FYVE Dynamics

U2OS cells were starved with EBSS for 2 h after transfection with GFP tagged 2 × FYVE domain of EEA1 and Flag
tagged Rubicon, cells were then fixed in 4% formaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature. After washing twice in PBS, cells
were incubated in PBS containing 10% FBS and 0.1% saponin to block nonspecific sites of antibody adsorption. The cells were
then incubated with appropriate anti-Flag antibody and Alexa Fluor 546 secondary antibody (ThermoFisher) in 0.1% saponin.
Confocal images were captured in multitracking mode on a Nikon A1 confocal microscope with a 63 × Plan Apochromat 1.4
NA objective. To quantify the number of GFP-FYVE puncta, a total of 50 cells were recorded and analyzed with Image J.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
