Multi-Modal Microscopy for Cell Targeting

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two separate visualization systems were used, one for monitoring the fiber tip to cell distance and the other for cell targeting. The CTM was positioned at a right angle from the sample surface and above the electrospray and MS inlet orifice axis. Brightfield illumination was provided by a white LED with 6500 K color temperature (MCWHL5, Thorlabs, Newton, NJ, United States) with its intensity adjusted by a LED driver (LEDD1B, Thorlabs, Newton, NJ, United States). For uniform lighting, an aspheric condenser lens with a diffuser surface (ACL2520-DG15-A, Thorlabs, Newton, NJ, United States) was installed. Since the illumination was perpendicular to the sample surface and the camera, a 30:70 (reflection:transmission) beamsplitter (BSS10R, Thorlabs, Newton, NJ, United States) was inserted into the optical train. For cell targeting, a 20× infinity-corrected objective lens (M Plan Apo, Mitutoyo Co., Kanagawa, Japan) was combined with a 1× tube lens and a 4-megapixel monochrome CCD camera (4070-GE, Thorlabs, Newton, NJ, United States). A long working distance fiber-monitoring microscope (FMM) (AM4815ZTL, Dino-lite, Torrance, CA, United States) with an extended magnification range (5× to 140×) was positioned at a 20° elevation angle to the sample surface.

Optical Properties of TiO2 and AlOOH Coatings

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate optical properties of TiO2 and AlOOH coatings, ink was printed on polished glass surface (microscope slides 26 mm × 76 mm, Paul Marienfeld, Germany) using Canon IP2480 inkjet printer. After applying, the produced sol was dried at 60 °C in the air for 15 minutes to form a thin layer of TiO2.
Then, optical reflection measurement of TiO2 films at normal incidence was carried out to obtain refractive indices. For this experiment the confocal optical scheme was arranged Figure S2. The incident unpolarized light from a halogen lamp (HL-2000-FHSA) was focused on the film surface through a 50x microscope objective (Mitutoyo M Plan APO, NA 0.55). Reflected light was collected through the same objective and then analyzed by a spectrometer (HORIBA LabRam HR) with a cooled CCD camera (Andor DU 420A-OE) and a 150 g/mm diffraction grating. The obtained spectra were normalized by the known spectrum of the halogen lamp. The reflectance spectra from different points of the film allowed us to estimate the error for refractive indices at various wavelengths.

Photoelectrochemical Measurement Setup

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
(Photo)electrochemical
experiments were performed using either a CH Instruments 760E or a
HEKA ELP-1 bipotentiostat. All measurements were performed in a 30
mL electrochemical cell with a borosilicate glass window in a three-electrode
configuration. A saturated calomel electrode (SCE) and a Pt wire were
used as the reference and counter electrodes, respectively. Illumination
of the semiconductor was performed using a white light LED from AM
Scope with a calibrated intensity of 85 mW cm–2.
For varied power experiments, the semiconductor was illuminated with
a 530 nm (2.3 eV) fiber-coupled LED (M530F2) coupled to a 550 μm
diameter fiber optic cable (MHP550L02, Thorlabs; 0.22 NA), a F240SMA-532
collimator, and a 20× LWD objective (Mitutoyo M Plan Apo; 0.42
NA). The LED intensity was controlled using a constant-current LED
driver from Thorlabs (UPLED) controlled using upSERIES software. A
calibration curve relating the LED driver current and LED intensity
was created by measuring the intensity using a USB power meter from
Thorlabs (PM16-122) and is shown in Figure S6 in the Supporting Information. Prior to each set of experiments,
a one-point power calibration was performed. All optical components
were purchased from Thorlabs and housed inside a custom-built dark
box to eliminate ambient light.

Femtosecond Laser Tissue Ablation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The laser beam is focused on the fixed tissue (rat liver dissection). Thereon, a Galvano scanner (IntelliScan 14, SCANLAB GmbH, Germany) steers the laser beam along a straight line of 400 μm length with a speed of 50 mm/s, repeating this process five hundred times. The laser-affected tissue is imaged using a confocal microscope (Zeiss LSM 880, Carl Zeiss AG, Germany) with a 20× microscope objective (LD Plan-Neofluar, Carl Zeiss AG, Germany). The average power of the femtosecond pulsed laser is characterized by the laser power percentage (LPP), which is modulated by a beam attenuator (Ultrafast, Altechna, Lithuania). A photodiode power sensor (S130VC, Thorlabs, USA) measures the average laser power at the focal plane of a 10× microscope objective (M Plan Apo, Mitutoyo, Japan).

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.
