Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For in vitro light stimulation, a blue light tube as shown in supplementary figure 8 was used. The peak light output of the LED tube was 460 nm. The cells were cultured in 24-well or 6 well plate (corning) with a 10-15 cm distance from the LED tube. The blue light output power at the position of the culture plate was measured with an optical power meter (Thorlabs PM200) equipped with a thermal power sensor (S120VC) and the light power was 0.4-0.8 mW/cm2. The blue light pulses were adjusted to 60 s ON and 60 s OFF using a Smart Mini Wifi Plug (Konke).
For long-term in vivo light exposure in freely moving mice, a battery-powered blue light LED (460 nm) was glued to the mouse back (supplementary figure 9). The blue light output power during light stimulation was measured with an optical power meter (Thorlabs PM200) equipped with a thermal power sensor (S120VC) and the light power was 4mW/cm2 (460nm) at the surface of LED. The mice were illuminated with blue light 12 h everyday and last for 14 days.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The photoelectric properties tests of the MoS2/GaSe heterojunction in darkness and under light illumination were performed though a Keithley 2450 source meter (Tektronix, USA). The power density of the light‐emitting diode (LED) light sources was modulated by a power supplier and calibrated by a silicon photodiode sensor (Thorlabs, USA, S120VC). All the gas sensing tests were performed in a home‐built gas sensing system. For the photovoltaic self‐powered gas sensing tests, the LED light sources were assembled with the gas sensing chamber through a standard optical fiber at dark room. The details of gas sensing tests are shown in the Supporting Information.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
2D single crystals of p-MSB, perylene, and α-6T were directly prepared on SiO2/Si. Drain and source electrodes (Au with 50-nm thickness) were deposited on the crystal by thermal evaporation (Nexdep, Angstrom Engineering Inc.) using a shadow mask. The electrical measurement was carried out by a probe station (EVERBING, PE-4) and a semiconductor analyzer (Keysight B1500A). Monochromatic light (wavelength: 254, 365, 405, 410, 420, and 500 nm) was applied to the samples through an optical fiber. The power intensity of the light was measured by a standard photodiode power sensor (S120VC, Thorlabs). All measurements were performed at room temperature in the ambient atmosphere.

Laser Beam Radius Measurement and Tissue Thermal Response

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The experimental system using the knife-edge method to measure the radius of laser beam is shown in Figure 10. The laser used in the present research was purchased from Changchun New Industries Optoeletronics Technology Co., Ltd, and it is a diode laser at wavelength 1064 ± 1 nm (MIL-N-1064, Changchun China). The detector was purchased from Thorlabs Inc. (Shanghai, China) It has a handheld digital power meter (PM100D, Shanghai, China). and an energy meter (S120VC, Shanghai, China). The detectable wavelength range is 20–1100 nm. The measurement uncertainties are: ± 3% (440–980 nm); ± 5% (280–439 nm); ± 7% (200–279 nm, 981–1100 nm).
The measurement system of tissue thermal response is shown in Figure 11. The basic principle is to use a diode laser (1064 nm) to heat the porcine muscle. The time-dependent temperature response is measured by three thermocouples located around the laser spot.

Blue-light Induction Methodology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blue-light induction was accomplished by either (1) illuminating cultures grown in glass culture tubes on a roller drum or (2) in a Light Plate Apparatus (LPA) (Gerhardt, et al., 2016 ). Light intensity was measured and validated using a standard photodiode power sensor and power meter (Thorlabs #S120VC, Thorlabs #PM100D). The LPA was calibrated as described in Sweeney, et al (Sweeney, Moreno Morales, Burmeister, Nimunkar, & McClean, 2019 (link)) so that consistent light doses could be delivered between LPAs and between experiments.

Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Measurement

The external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) for the photocatalytic H2 evolution were measured using monochromatic LED lamps (λ = 420, 490, 515 and 595 nm, respectively). For the experiments, the photocatalyst (2.5 mg) with Pt loading was suspended in an aqueous solution containing ascorbic acid (0.1 mol l−1). The light intensity was measured with a ThorLabs S120VC photodiode power sensor controlled by a ThorLabs PM100D Power and Energy Meter Console. The EQEs were estimated using the equation: EQE(%)=2×NumberofevolvedH2moleculesNumberofincidentphotons×100%

Comprehensive Nanomaterial Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were obtained using a Carl Zeiss Gemini SEM 500 at an acceleration voltage of 5 kV. Atomic force microscope (AFM) images were obtained using INNOVA with a scan line rate of 256. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) samples were prepared using a Gatan691 ion gun. The TEM images were obtained using a JEOL JEM-2100 operated at 300 kV in bright-field TEM mode and high-resolution TEM mode. Raman spectroscopy was measured using a confocal Raman microscope (Horiba JOBIN YVON, hr800) with an excitation wavelength of 532 nm at an output power of 100 mW. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, Thermo Fisher ESCALAB Xi + )) was used to determine the functional groups and required binding energies of the thin films. The electronic measurements were conducted using a semiconductor analyzer (Keysight B1500A). For optoelectrical testing, the light was illuminated from the top side of the device. Visible and NIR light were provided by a Xe lamp with a color filter (~300–1500 nm). The power of light sources was measured by commercial Si (Thorlabs S120VC) photodetectors.

We roughly evaluate the power density of the UVC afterglow using a Thorlabs PM200 power meter equipped a power sensor (S120VC, Thorlabs). The detailed measurement method is shown in Supplementary Fig. 20. After considering all possible factors that impact the measurement, the initial afterglow power density at the sample position was roughly estimated to be ca. 14.9 mW/m2.

Iris pupil light response quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Light was applied to iris preparations from a Xenon source (Zeiss 75W) filtered through 360 nm longpass and 550 nm shortpass filters (ET360lp, #NC548428 Chroma and Techspec SP, #84-708 Edmund Optics). The resulting broadband 360 to 550 nm violet-blue-cyan light was focused through a 30 mm condenser lens and applied via a 1.5 mm core optical fiber cable (Condenser ACL3026-A, and cable 1500UMT 0.39 NA; Thorlabs). Light power was measured using a photodiode sensor (200–1100 nm, 50 mW, 9.5 mm diameter) and optical power meter (Thorlabs S120VC and PM100D) and had a median irradiance value of 25 mW cm–2 for the 360 to 550 nm filtered light, similar to that used previously to evoke the PMTR in chick iris (35 mW cm–2, for 350 to 590 nm light) (Tu, 2004 (link)). For controls, 525 nm orange light (25–35 mW cm–2) was applied using a longpass filter (#84-744 Edmund Optics). Preparations were viewed at 12X with a Wild dissecting microscope and digital images acquired (usually at 1Hz for 25–60 s) using a cooled CCD camera (Retiga 1434, Q-Imaging) controlled by IP Lab 4.0 (Scanalytics Software; Reading PA). PMTRs were quantified offline from iris sphincter open areas measured at each time point using macros written for Image J (v 1.45s). Iris responses to pharmacological stimulation were obtained in red light, but acquired and analyzed in a similar fashion.

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.
