The details of the microscopic system for in vivo nanoimaging have been described in our previous studies [5 (link), 6 (link)]. In brief, an upright microscope (BX-51WI, Olympus Co., Tokyo, Japan) combined with a Nipkow confocal scanner (CSU21, Yokogawa Electric Co., Tokyo, Japan) and an electron multiplying CCD (EMCCD) camera (iXonEM+, Andor Technology Ltd, Belfast, Northern Ireland) were used at a 512 × 512 (or 512 × 170) pixel resolution at an exposure time of 28 (or 9.8) ms. A water immersion lens, either 60× (LUMPLFLN 60XW, N/A 1.00, Olympus Co.), 40× (LUMPLFLN 40XW, N/A 0.80, Olympus Co.), or 20× (XLUMPLFLN 20XW, N/A 1.00, Olympus Co.), and also a 2× lens (XLFluor 2X/340, N/A 0.14, Olympus Co.) were used to visualize the LV surface.
AcGFP-expressing myocytes were excited by a 488 nm laser light (HPU50211-PFS, Furukawa Electric Co., Tokyo, Japan), and the resultant fluorescence signals (emission filter: BA510–550, Olympus Co., Tokyo, Japan) were detected. In the experiments with CellMask, the heart was excited at 532 nm (MiniGreen FCIM-100; Snake Creek Lasers, Friendsville, PA, USA), and the resultant fluorescence signals (emission filter: BA575IF, Olympus Co.) were detected. When excited at 532 nm, the wavelength range for the detection of the fluorescence of CellMask was >575 nm.

Wide-field fluorescence imaging was performed on an Olympus Fluoview 1000 system (excitation wavelength at 488 nm, emission filter wavelength centered at 510 nm; Olympus, Corp.). The fluorescence images were captured by an EMCCD camera (iXon Ultra 888, Andor, Ltd.). A 10× water immersion objective (0.3 NA, UMPLFLN, Olympus, Corp.) was used for GCaMP5G-expressing fly brain imaging. A 2× objective (0.14 NA, XLFluor2X/340, Olympus, Corp.) was used for GCaMP6f-expressing mouse brain slice imaging.

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.
