Spinning disk confocal microscope csu w1

Manufactured by Zeiss

The Spinning disk confocal microscope (CSU-W1) is a type of confocal microscope that uses a spinning disk to rapidly scan a sample. It allows for fast and efficient imaging of live cells with minimal photodamage. The CSU-W1 provides optical sectioning, increased resolution, and reduced background fluorescence compared to conventional widefield microscopy.

Immunofluorescence Staining Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences) for 10 min at room temperature; permeabilized in 100 mM tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 50 mM EDTA (pH 8.0), and 0.5% Triton X-100; and incubated with the corresponding primary antibodies overnight (see table S2). This was followed by incubation with corresponding fluorescently conjugated Alexa Fluor secondary antibodies for 2 hours at room temperature. Both primary and secondary antibodies were diluted in PBS containing 1% BSA (Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.1% Tween 20 (Sigma-Aldrich). Images were acquired using either a Nikon spinning disk confocal microscope (CSU-W1) or a Zeiss LSM880 Airyscan microscope. See table S2 for antibody information.

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.
