5 protocols using examiner z1 microscope

1

Platelet Accumulation at Laser Injury

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice (12-16 weeks of age) were anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine (100 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, respectively) and injected with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated GPIX antibody (2.5 μg) to label circulating platelets. The saphenous vein was exposed and injured once as previously described [18] . Platelet accumulation at the site of laser injury was assessed by intravital microscopy using a Zeiss Examiner Z1 microscope (Zeiss, Oberkochen,
Germany) equipped with a Hamamatsu Orca Flash 4.0 camera (Hamamatsu, Japan). Image acquisition and fluorescence quantification was done with Slidebook 6.0 (Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Denver, CO).

Images were acquired on a specially designed Zeiss Spinning Disk Confocal Imaging System (Zeiss Examiner Z1 Microscope) using a 63X (wet) objective. The same field of cells was excited with either a 488 nm laser for mCherry or a FITC light source for eGFP and emission filter Em01-R488/568 using constant exposure and intensity settings. Cells were imaged in serum free Opti-MEM® (Life technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) supplemented with 10 % fetal bovine serum, 20 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 2 mM glutamine. Confocal images were used strictly for presentation in the figures. All data analysis was performed on large fields of cells using the Cellometer® Vision as described above.

Samples prepared for confocal microscopy were fixed on silane-coated slides to aid bacterial cell adhesion. Data was acquired on an Axio Examiner Z1 microscope equipped with a Zeiss LSM780 scanhead, using an 63 × oil immersion lens. 405 nm, 488 nm and 633 nm lasers were used to excite the Hoechst nuclear stain, Alexa Fluor 488 and Alexa Fluor 647 conjugates, respectively. Data were collected and the images analysed using Zeiss Zen software.

Mice (12–14 weeks of age) were anaesthetized with ketamine/xylazine (100 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, respectively) and injected with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated antibodies to GPIX (2.5 µg) to label circulating platelets. The saphenous vein was exposed and injured as previously described.22 (link) Platelet accumulation at the site of laser injury was assessed by intravital microscopy using a Zeiss Examiner Z1 microscope (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) equipped with a Hamamatsu Orca Flash 4.0 camera (Hamamatsu, Japan).

Neuronal Morphology Analysis on MEAs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neuronal morphology on standard MEAs was examined by immunocytochemical staining of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) (Chicken-anti-MAP2; 1:500; Abcam, United States) expressed in dendrites and somata. Large-scale images spanning the full network (120 × 120 mm) were taken at 10-fold resolution (0.645 pixel/μm; Examiner Z1 microscope, Zen software 2015, Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) and processed by background subtraction (750 × 750 pixel median filtering using Zen).

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.
