Confocal lsm 510

Manufactured by Zeiss

Sourced in Germany

The Confocal LSM 510 is a laser scanning microscope designed for high-resolution imaging of samples. It utilizes a confocal optical system to capture sharp, detailed images by reducing out-of-focus light. The microscope is equipped with multiple laser lines and a range of detection channels, allowing for the visualization of various fluorescent labels within a sample.

Proximity ligation assay was performed using Duolink PLA Kit (Sigma‐Aldrich) in 4% PFA‐fixed brain tissue or cells before permeabilization in 0.1% Triton X‐100 for 30 min. The in situ PLA detection kit 596 was used to visualize single‐molecule interactions for ROCK1‐APP or BACE1‐APP. Samples were blocked and incubated with specific primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. Secondary antibodies (anti‐rabbit PLUS and anti‐mouse MINUS probes) were added to the reaction and incubated for 1 hr at 37°C. The hybridized oligonucleotides were ligated for 30 min at 37°C. Then, amplification solution was added with polymerase and incubated for 100 min at 37°C. After mounted with mounting medium, the PL signal was visualized as a chromatic (red) spot and was captured by Confocal LSM 510 (Zeiss).

Freshly isolated VSMCs were studied using the Duolink in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) detection kit 563 (Olink, Uppsala, Sweden) (Soderberg et al. 2008). Cells were adhered to coverslips, fixed in PBS containing 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min, and permeabilized in PBS containing 0.1% Triton X‐100 for 15 min. Cells were blocked for 1 h at 37°C in blocking solution, and incubated overnight at 4°C with anti‐STIM1 and anti‐TRPC1 antibodies (both at dilution 1:200) in antibody diluent solution. Cells were labelled with combinations of either anti‐goat PLUS/anti‐rabbit MINUS or anti‐goat PLUS/anti‐mouse MINUS depending on animal species used for 1 h at 37°C. Hybridized oligonucleotides were ligated for 30 min at 37°C prior to amplification for 100 min at 37°C. Red fluorescence‐labelled oligonucleotides were then hybridized to rolling circle amplification products, and visualized using a Confocal LSM 510 (Carl Zeiss).

Visualization of Cilia and Sperm Structures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Cells grown on glass coverslips were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X‑100 in PBS, incubated in blocking buffer (2% heat‐inactivated goat serum, 0.2% Triton X‑100 in PBS) and probed with primary antibodies diluted in blocking buffer. After washing, appropriate secondary antibodies were added along with DAPI, before mounting in Mowiol. Cilia formation was induced by serum starvation for 24–48 h and visualized by anti‐acetylated tubulin, anti‐Arl13b or anti‐gamma‐tubulin antibodies. In some cases, cells were pre‐treated with different drugs for 10 h before staining. For analysis of the sperm, caudal epididymides from sexually mature males were finely minced and the sperm released into the buffer was collected and mounted. The slides were then air‐dried, fixed in 1.5% paraformaldehyde (v/v in PBS), permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X‐100, blocked in 2% BSA and stained with primary antibodies and DAPI. Fluorescence microscopy was performed using Zeiss Axioplan 2 Upright or Zeiss Confocal LSM 510 and analysed by using ImageJ software (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/index.html).

IC was performed to evaluate the HLA-DR expression at the temporal bulbar conjunctiva, and was conducted 24 hours after the IVCM assessment to avoid misinterpretation due to the technical execution of the confocal microscopy. Samples were collected using Millicell-CM 0.4 µm (Millipore, Bedford, MA); the specimen acquiring procedure was performed as previously described.¹⁸ (link)^,¹⁹ (link) Zeiss Confocal LSM 510 (Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH, Vertrieb, Germany) was used to visualize cells. Five different fields for each sample were evaluated. Positive (red nucleus and green cytoplasm) and negative (red nucleus) cells were counted. Minor irregularities that may have been present after cutting the membranes were normalized by reporting the percentage of positive cells for HLA-DR.
All evaluations of impression cytology samples were performed by two independent observers (authors L.B. and R.D.A.). IVCM (author M.L.) and IC (authors L.B. and R.D.A.) operators were masked for grouping and subject history of patients. Both eyes for patients were evaluated in the study, but one eye per subject was randomly chosen (using a computer-generated random number list) for the statistical analysis.

Secondary antibodies used over the course of several different experiments were applied as follows: Alexa Fluor 488 anti-mouse (A-11001; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR), Alexa Fluor 568 anti-mouse (A-11004; Molecular Probes), and Alexa Fluor 488 anti-rabbit (A-11008; Molecular Probes), with all secondary antibodies diluted 1:200 in PBSB. After 2 h of incubation in the dark at ambient conditions, unbound secondary antibodies were removed as described. The fixed and stained embryos were mounted with 8 μl of Vectashield with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; H-1200; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Confocal imaging was performed on a departmental Zeiss 510 Confocal LSM operated with ZEN software (Carl Zeiss).

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.
