High-Throughput Fluorescence Microscopy Imaging

After staining, each 96-well plate was imaged by using an Olympus IX81 epifluorescence microscope (×4 objective, N.A. of 0.13, Olympus UPlanFL N; Tokyo, Japan). The imaging area consisted of a grid of either 4 × 3 or 6 × 4 overlapping images covering 47%–54% of the total well area. Well-focused images covering the entire image area were obtained by autofocusing on each image position by using a custom script written in MatLab (Natick, MA). Each sample was imaged by using blue, red, far red, and green filter sets (Chroma ET-DAPI 49000, Semrock TxRed-4040B, Chroma ET-Cy5 49006, and Semrock FITC-3540B, corresponding to the Hoechst 33342, ALP, EDU, and Muc2 stains, respectively) and an exposure time of 150 milliseconds for all channels. The total image acquisition time for a 96-well plate using a 6 × 4 image grid for each well was 456 ± 7.5 minutes.

To visualize the planktonic oral microbial flora 1h after toothbrushing, 1ml of fresh human saliva was incubated with LIVE/DEAD® BacLight Bacterial Viability Kit containing SYTO®9 and propidium iodide in a final concentration of 1.67μM (Invitrogen) and 1μg/ml Wheat Germ Agglutinin Alexa Fluor® 350 conjugated (Invitrogen) for 10min at 37°C. Mucous fraction obtained by 10min centrifugation at 4500×g was examined using UPlan FLN 40×/0.75 Ph2 and UPlan FLN 100×/1.30 Oil Ph3 on BX51 equipped with BX-URA2 reflected fluorescence system and X-Cite® 120W metal halide lamp (Olympus). Separate images were taken with DAPI-1160A, FITC-3540B, and TRITC-A BrightLine® fluorescence filters (Semrock), as well as U-PCD2 phase contrast condenser using DP72 CCD camera and merged with cellSens® digital imaging software Version 1.3 (Olympus).

Time-lapse Imaging of Cells on Microarrays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Imaging was performed using a motorized Olympus IX81 inverted microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) controlled by custom‐built MATLAB software with hardware control using an open‐source Micromanager.24, 26 The microscope was equipped with an MS‐2000 motorized stage (ASI, Eugene, OR) and an Orca‐Flash 4.0 V2 camera (Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan). The objective used was an Olympus UPLFLN 4× (NA 0.13). Fluorescence imaging of Hoechst 33342, mCherry, and GFP, was performed using DAPI (Chroma ET‐DAPI 49000), TxRed (Semrock TxRed‐4040B), and FITC (Semrock FITC‐3540B) filter sets. Time‐lapse images were performed every 2 h for 24 h. The microarray was maintained in focus using a customized software autofocus (MATLAB) employing a modified Laplacian focus algorithm.21, 24 During time‐lapse imaging, a custom‐made incubator maintained the cells on the arrays at 37°C, 60% humidity, and 5% CO2.

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.
