5 protocols using orca fusion cmos camera

1

Fluorescence Microscopy of Transwell Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transwell slides were imaged on a motorized Eclipse Ti2-E inverted microscope (Nikon Instruments) with a SOLA LED engine (Lumencor) and an ORCA Fusion CMOS camera (Hamamatsu). Semrock filter sets were used for individual DAPI, GFP, TRITC, and Cy5 channels. Multichannel images were captured as Z-stacks using NIS-Elements AR software (Nikon Instruments, v. 5.30) with 40x Plan Apochromat Lambda objectives (Nikon Instruments) for a final resolution of 0.32 μm/pixel and 0.16 μm/pixel, respectively. The Z-stacks were compressed into 2D images using the Extended Depth of Focus (EDF) module in NIS-Elements.

Spinning Disk Confocal Microscopy for Super-Resolution Imaging

Sixteen-bit fluorescence images were acquired using an Olympus IXplore spinning disk confocal microscope (equipped with the Yokogawa CSU-W1 with 50 µm pinhole disk and a Hamamatsu ORCA Fusion CMOS camera). A 60× oil immersion objective (NA 1.42) in combination with a 3.2× magnification lens (equalling 192× total magnification) was used for super-resolution imaging of fixed cells and z-stacks with a 0.24 µm slice interval were acquired. These z-stacks were then processed using the Olympus 3D deconvolution software (cellSens Dimension 3.1) (constrained iterative deconvolution, using automatic background removal and noise reduction, filter using advanced maximum likelihood algorithm and five iterations). Finally, ‘maximum-z’ projection images of the deconvoluted z-stacks were generated. Olympus 3D deconvolution software (cellSens Dimension 3.1) was used for analysis. Nuclear foci were counted manually and at least 50 cells per condition were imaged in each experiment. Quantification of the foci was performed manually based on maximum intensity projections.

Visualizing Pupal Fluid Secretion

For imaging, 13- to 17-day-old melanized pupae were placed in the microwell of a 35 mm glass bottom Petri dish (MatTek) and covered with a coverslip. Abiotic conditions (100% humidity, 25 °C) were maintained throughout the recording using an environmental stage chamber (Okolab). Bright-field images of pupal fluid droplets secreted from the abdominal tip were acquired with a DMi8 inverted microscope (Leica), an Orca fusion CMOS camera (Hamamatsu) and the VisiTech InstantSIM (iSIM) (VisiTech International) real-time superresolution system with a 20×/0.75 water objective at a resolution of 3.08 pixels per µm. Imaging was performed at different depths. The z-plane depths were selected to optimize visualization of secretion droplets, the rectal invagination, and the genital opening. Images were acquired using VisiView acquisition software version 4.5.0.13 (VisiTech International) and image processing was performed using FIJI/ImageJ version 1.52p32 (link).

Characterizing 3D Printed Microfluidic Valve Performance

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 3D printing valve-integrated microfluidic devices, the performance of the valves was tested by first closing valves controlling fluid flow to the separation channel (Figure S1a) while leaving valves connected to the injection channel open. Next, fluorescent dye was pulled with vacuum into the injection intersection. Injection valve leakage testing was performed using 532 nm laser excitation with a Hamamatsu ORCA-Fusion CMOS camera (Bridgewater, NJ) to monitor flow of fluorescent dye into the separation channel. In an additional experiment, both valves 2 were closed, vacuum was turned on, and the injection intersection was observed for flow of fluorescent dye. Valve tests were performed with pressures between 25–45 psi. To further investigate the integrity of the valves, a point detection experiment was performed, wherein fluorescent dye was flowed into the injection channel (valves 2 open), and fluorescence was recorded in the separation channel (Figure S1a) using a Hamamatsu photomultiplier tube (PMT, Bridgewater, NJ).

Fluorescent Bacterial Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluo-castalagin–labeled bacteria were loaded onto a slide with 0.2% Gelzan (Sigma) pads. Epifluorescence microscopy imaging of fluo-castalagin–labeled bacteria was performed using a Nikon Ti2 microscope equipped with a 60× CFI Plan Apochromat phase contrast objective with a numerical aperture of 1.40. Fluorescein imaging used a SpectraX illuminator (Lumencor) with an FITC filter set (470/24 nm excitation, 525/50 nm emission). Images were captured with a Hamamatsu Orca Fusion CMOS camera. Images were processed in FIJI as follows: images were cropped, the background from the fluorescence channel was subtracted, and an identical lookup table was applied to the fluorescence channels.

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.
