Ccd camera

Manufactured by JEOL
Sourced in Japan

The CCD camera is a versatile imaging device designed for use in various laboratory applications. It captures and converts light signals into digital image data for analysis and documentation purposes. The CCD camera's core function is to provide high-quality, detailed images of specimens or samples under examination.

Visualizing Vibrio parahaemolyticus T3SS2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
V. parahaemolyticus strains were cultured in MLB at 37 °C for 45 mins without or with 100 µM TDC to induce T3SS2 expression. Cells were collected at 4000 × g for 10 mins, washed in 0.2 M phosphate buffer, and then fixed with 8% paraformaldehyde in 0.2 M phosphate buffer for 10 minutes at room temperature. After an additional wash with 0.2 M phosphate buffer, the cell pellets were resuspended in 0.1 M phosphate buffer with 4% paraformaldehyde. The samples were subsequently embedded in LR White resin, thin-sectioned, mounted on nickel-coated grids, and stained with the appropriate concentration of primary and nano-gold-conjugated secondary antibodies for transmission electron microscopy. All imaging was done on the JEOL 1400 Plus Transmission Electron Microscope equipped with a BIOSPR CCD camera at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center EM core facility.

For conventional ultrathin section electron microscopy, cells cultured on coverslips were fixed with a mixture of 2% formaldehyde and 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) for more than 2 h at room temperature, and post-fixed with a mixture of 1% osmium tetroxide and 0.1% potassium ferrocyanide in 0.1 M sodium cacodylate buffer (pH 7.4)71 (link). For delineation of isolation membranes and IMATs, cells were fixed for 40 min at 4 °C with a glutaraldehyde–osmium tetroxide mixture using a slight modification of the published methods34 (link),72 (link). The fixative was prepared by mixing one volume of solution A (2.5% glutaraldehyde, 0.1 M sodium cacodylate buffer [pH 7.4]) and two volumes of solution B (1% osmium tetroxide, 3 mg ml–1 potassium ferrocyanide, 0.1 M sodium cacodylate buffer [pH 7.4]) immediately before use. All the samples were dehydrated, and embedded in epoxy resin. Ultrathin sections were observed using a JEOL JEM1011 electron microscope operated at 100 kV. Digital images were captured using a CCD camera (Gatan).

Comprehensive Characterization of RuO2@C

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The morphology and size of RuO2@C were investigated by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM; JEOL, JEM-2100F; accelerating voltage at 200 kV with Gatan CCD camera). The functional groups of RuO2@C annealed at different temperatures were analysed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS; Thermo Fisher, K-alpha). The crystallography of RuO2 was investigated by high power X-ray diffractometer (XRD; Rigaku, D/MAX 2500 V/PC).

Structural Characterization of Materials

X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were collected using a Siemens D-5000 powder X-ray diffractometer operated in Bragg Brentano geometry using Ni-filtered Cu Kα radiation (λ = 0.1541 nm). Data were recorded in the 2θ range 10–80° with an angular step size of 0.026° and a counting time of 1 s per step. The collected data were refined using the Le Bail method by means of the software Rietica [34 (link),35 (link)]. Raman spectra were collected from powder samples onto a glass slide as substrate, with a Renishaw in Via Reflex Raman microscope (Renishaw, Gloucestershire, UK). Experiments were conducted at room temperature using 532 and 633 nm excitation wavelengths. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was conducted on a JEOL JSM-6700 F. Samples for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies were prepared by dropping a diluted suspension of the samples onto ultra-thin carbon-coated copper grids. Imaging was performed on a JEOL JEM 1010 instrument operated at 100 kV and equipped with a CCD camera (JEOL, Tokyo, Japan).

Unbiased Quantitative Analysis of Excitatory Synapses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Digital images from stratum radiatum of the dorsal CA1 were taken with a Hamamatsu CCD camera, attached to a JEOL 1200XL electron microscope, using a software developed by AMT (Boston, MA), or were taken using AMT's XR80 camera system. To ensure the least amount of bias, all microscopists were kept blind to the group of the animal (ABA, CON, FR, and EX) during image acquisition and quantitative analysis of the EM images. Images were acquired and analyzed, strictly in the order of encounter, so as to minimize any selection bias for synapses with high or low levels of immunoreactivity. Spines were identified based on their thick postsynaptic density (PSD), the absence of mitochondria, and the absence of microtubules. Synaptic cleft positions were identified based on the presence of thick PSDs. Parallel alignment of the postsynaptic membrane with the vesicle-containing presynaptic terminal's plasma membrane served to confirm the position of the synaptic cleft, but it was not required for identifying asymmetric excitatory axo-spinous synapses (Peters et al. 1991 ). Images were analyzed and annotated using Adobe Photoshop (version CS2).

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.
