All fluorescence signals for iPSC-derived neurons were imaged with a Leica DMI 6000 inverted fluorescent microscope equipped with APO 63X/ 1.4 NA oil immersion lens and a filter set for fluorophores in Cy3, Cy5, GFP, and DAPI channels (center/ band width, nm: EX 545/39, 620/60, 470/40, 360/40; EM 605/75, 700/75, 525/45, 470/40). Images were collected with Leica DFC365 FX camera (6.45 μm pixel size) using AF6000 Leica Software v3.1.0 (Leica Microsystems). Whole cell, 12-bit stacks images with 0.2 μm step size were acquired (50–70 planes). Immersion oil (Leica, 11513859) with 1.518 refractive index at room temperature was applied to the lens. Coverslips were mounted with ProLong Gold anti-face reagent (Invitrogen, P36930) with a refractive index of 1.46. All images were acquired with identical microscope settings within individual experiments. Brightness and contrast were adjusted equally for all images and cropped insets were generated in the same manner among all the experiments to facilitate visualization of representative cells. For any image adjustment, identical settings were always applied to all cells, irrespective of genotype. Neurons that were clumped, overlapping or obscured by debris were excluded from the quantification.

Fluorescence Imaging of Cellular Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were imaged under APO 63X/ 1.4 NA oil immersion lens using a Leica DMI 6000B inverted fluorescent microscope fitted with Leica DFC365 FX camera (6.45 μm pixel size). The immersion oil (Leica, 11513859) has a refractive index of 1.518 at ambient temperature. Fluorescence was detected using Cy3, Cy5, GFP, and DAPI channels (center/ bandwidth, nm: EX 545/39, 620/60, 470/40, 360/40; EM 605/75, 700/75, 525/45, 470/40). Images with a 0.2 μm step size were acquired (15–20 planes) using AF6000 Leica Software v3.1.0 (Leica Microsystems), and maximum projections of the center 5 planes were generated. Within each experiment, all the images were acquired using identical microscope settings.

iPSC-derived macrophages plated on coverslips were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Fisher Scientific) and processed for immunofluorescence analysis as detailed previously.106 (link) Cells were incubated in a rabbit anti-IBA1 (1:1000, Wako Chemicals) primary antibody.
Immunofluorescence images were collected with a Leica DMI 6000B inverted fluorescent microscope using a 40X air objective and Leica DFC365 FX camera with AF6000 Leica Software v3.1.0 (Leica Microsystems). Stacked images (z=0.2μm) were maximum projected. Brightness and contrast were equally adjusted post-acquisition to improve visualization of fluorescent signals. Brightfield images were acquired on live cells using an EVOS ci inverted microscope (AMG) with 4x and 10x objectives. (Figure S6J).

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.
