C1 plus laser scanning te2000e confocal microscope

Manufactured by Nikon
Sourced in Japan

The C1-Plus laser-scanning TE2000E confocal microscope is a high-performance imaging system designed for advanced microscopy applications. It features a TE2000E inverted microscope platform and integrates a confocal scanning unit, multiple laser sources, and a high-sensitivity detector system. The core function of this microscope is to provide high-resolution, optically sectioned imaging of samples through the use of a focused laser beam and a pinhole aperture to reject out-of-focus light.

Immunofluorescence Analysis of pNFSs

Cells seeded onto pNFSs were fixed with 3.7% PFA for 15 min, washed three times with PBS, and permeabilized with 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100. After 15 min, the pNFSs were washed three times with PBS and incubated in a blocking solution (PBS/3% BSA) for 1 h at room temperature. The pNFSs were then incubated overnight at 4 °C with an appropriate primary antibody. Thereafter, the pNFSs were washed three times with PBS and incubated with Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h. The pNFSs were washed twice with PBS and cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 2 min. The pNFSs were washed three times with PBS, mounted onto slides using mounting reagent (Invitrogen), and analyzed using a C1-Plus laser-scanning TE2000E confocal microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

Multi-layer pNFS Cell Culture Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded onto pNFS and incubated in a humidified 5% CO2/95% air incubator at 37 °C. After 3 days, pNFSs were stacked in four layers and incubated for 3 days. Twenty-four hours prior to separation, 10 μM BrdU was added to the multi-layered pNFS. Upon separation, each layer was washed three times with PBS and fixed with 3.7% PFA for 15 min. The cells were then washed three times with PBS, permeabilized with 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100, and treated with 2 N HCl for 10 min. After washing three times with PBS, cells were incubated with a primary antibody against BrdU, followed by incubation with secondary antibody and counterstaining with DAPI. Images were obtained using a C1-Plus laser-scanning TE2000E confocal microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

Cells were seeded onto pNFS and incubated in a humidified 5% CO2/95% air incubator at 37 °C. After incubating for 3 days, cells were fixed with 3.7% PFA for 15 min. Thereafter, cells were washed three times with PBS, permeabilized with 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100, washed three times with PBS, and incubated in blocking solution (3% bovine serum albumin (BSA)) for 1 h at room temperature. The pNFSs were then incubated overnight at 4 °C with Alexa Fluor 594 phalloidin. Thereafter, the pNFSs were washed twice with PBS, and cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 2 min. The pNFSs were washed three times with PBS, mounted onto slides using mounting reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and analyzed using a C1-Plus laser-scanning TE2000E confocal microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

Cell Viability in Layered pNFS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded onto pNFSs and incubated in a humidified 5% CO2/95% air incubator at 37 °C. After 3 days, pNFSs were stacked in four layers and incubated for 3 days. During the latter 3-day incubation period, designated samples of 4-layer pNFSs were separated into individual layers on each day, and cells in each layer were analyzed for viability using a LIVE/DEAD Fixable Green Dead Cell Stain Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The fluorescence of dead (green) cells was analyzed using a C1-Plus laser-scanning TE2000E confocal microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

Cells were seeded onto pNFS and incubated in a humidified 5% CO2/95% air incubator at 37 °C. After culturing cells on individual pNFSs for 3 days, pNFSs were stacked into four layers and incubated for an additional 3 days. Six hours prior to separation, pimonidazole (50 μM) was added. Upon separation, individual layers were washed three times with PBS, fixed with 3.7% PFA for 15 min, then washed again and permeabilized with 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100. After washing three times with PBS, cells were incubated with primary antibody against pimonidazole followed by incubation with secondary antibody and counterstaining with DAPI. Images were obtained using a C1-Plus laser-scanning TE2000E confocal microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, 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.
