Cfi apo tirf 100x 1.49 n a oil objective

Manufactured by Nikon

The CFI Apo TIRF 100X 1.49 N.A. oil objective is a high-performance microscope objective designed for Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy. It features a 100X magnification and a numerical aperture of 1.49, which enables high-resolution imaging of samples near the coverslip surface. The objective is optimized for use with oil immersion to provide superior optical performance.

HeLa cells were transfected for 24 h with 20 nM control siRNA (siCtrl) or ATIP3-specific-siRNA (siATIP3) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen), then transfected for 24 h with 4 µg EB1-GFP construct as described17 (link). Transfected cells were treated with DMSO or paclitaxel (5 nM) during 2h30 before being imaged on a Nikon Eclipse Ti microscope with the PFS (Perfect Focus System), equipped with a Nikon CFI Apo TIRF 100X 1.49 N.A. oil objective and controlled with MetaMorph software. Images were acquired in a stream mode at 25 ms exposure time during 30 s. Image analysis was performed with ImageJ software, version 1.51 k (W. Rasband, NIH, USA) and statistical analyses were done with Prism 6.0 (GraphPad software, USA).

Confocal microscopy was performed using a Nikon A1 laser scanning confocal microscope. In Figures 4A and S4, to enhance spatial resolution, we used the Nikon enhanced resolution (ER) module (Nikon A1 ER using a 60X 1.4NA oil objective). Raw data for ER were processed using the Richardson-Lucy deconvolution algorithm of Nikon Elements software. Super resolution microscopy (3D-SIM) was performed using a Nikon N-SIM. All data for 3D-SIM were captured used a Nikon CFI Apo TIRF 100X 1.49NA oil objective. 3D-SIM image stacks were sectioned using a 200 nm Z-step size. Raw data for 3D-SIM were reconstructed and analyzed using Nikon Elements software.

MaMTH reporter HEK293 cells stably expressing EGFR WT or EGFR L858R/T790M/C797S were transfected with EB3-TagRFP. Cell were stimulated with 0.5 µg/ml tetracycline to induce EGFR expression 18 hours prior to imaging. Cells were incubated with EMI for 30 min prior to imaging. Inverted research microscope Nikon Eclipse Ti-E (Nikon) supplemented with the perfect focus system (PFS) (Nikon) and equipped with Nikon CFI Apo TIRF 100x 1.49 N.A. oil objective (Nikon), Photometrics Evolve 512 EMCCD (Roper Scientific) controlled with MetaMorph 7.7 software (Molecular Devices) was used to perform the live cell imaging. Images were acquired in a stream mode with an exposure time of 500 ms. Kymographs were generated using ImageJ plugin KymoResliceWide (https://github.com/ekatrukha/KymoResliceWide). Parameters of microtubule dynamics were analyzed as described previously41 ,42 .

Reconstitution assay was performed as previously described (Doodhi et al., 2016) . The reaction mixtures in MRB80 buffer contained tubulin (15 mM), Rhodamine-tubulin (0.5 mM) when indicated, methyl cellulose (0.1%), KCl (50 mM), k-casein (0.5 mg/ml), GTP (1 mM), oxygen scavenging system (20 mM glucose, 200 mg/ml catalase, 400 mg/ml glucose-oxidase, 4 mM DTT), mCherry-EB3 or mCherry-EB3Dtail (20 nM each) and Kar9c-GFP (0.64 mM). Movies were acquired in TIRF mode using Nikon Eclipse Ti-E (Nikon) microscope supplemented with the perfect focus system (PFS) (Nikon), equipped with Nikon CFI Apo TIRF 100x 1.49 N.A. oil objective (Nikon). Photometrics Evolve 512 EMCCD camera (Roper Scientific) with triple-band TIRF polychroic ZT405/488/561rpc (Chroma) and tripleband laser emission filter ZET405/488/561m (Chroma), mounted in the metal cube (Chroma, 91032) together with Optosplit III beamsplitter (Cairn Research Ltd, UK) supplemented with double emission filter cube configured with ET525/50m, ET630/75m and T585LPXR (Chroma) was used to acquire the movies in stream acquisition mode (exposure time 500 ms). Kymographs were generated in ImageJ using KymoResliceWide plugin.

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.
