Charge coupled device camera

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

A charge-coupled device (CCD) camera is a type of digital camera that uses a CCD image sensor to capture and record visual information. The CCD sensor converts light energy into electrical signals, allowing the camera to generate digital images. The core function of a CCD camera is to provide a reliable and efficient method for capturing and digitizing visual data for various scientific and industrial applications.

Ultrastructural Analysis of Mitochondria in Ischemic Myocardium

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ventricular sections isolated from the anterior left ventricular myocardium were obtained from hearts 2 hours post cardiac arrest resuscitation. They were fixed overnight in in 2.5% glutaraldehyde / 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M sodium cacodylate buffer and maleate buffer (pH 5.1) and processed as previously described (n=3 hearts/group) (29 (link)). Images were collected using a scanning transmission electron microscope (TEM) at 300 KV (Tecnai F30; FEI) with a Gatan charge-coupled device camera. Blinded observers using Image J software analyzed Mitochondrial images. A minimum of 600 mitochondria per group underwent morphometric analysis.

Bright-field and Electron Microscopy Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bright-field images of histology were taken on a BX53 light microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) using a charge-coupled device camera (Olympus). To obtain representative images across several fields, a digital stitching tool (Cell Sens, Olympus) was used and images were assembled using Photoshop (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA). Subcellular images were taken using a Tecnai Biotwin 12 transmission electron microscope (FEI, Hillsboro, OR) equipped with a charge-coupled device camera (FEI). Tissue from a minimum of three individuals was observed to make conclusions. All representative images in figures represent one of at least n=3 biological replicates that were observed, unless otherwise noted in figure legends.

Cryo-TEM and SEM Analysis of Liposomal Formulations

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Morphology of liposomal suspensions before USFD were evaluated by cryo-TEM (Angelov et al., 2015 (link)). Liposomal suspensions of 3 μL were placed on a TEM copper grid covered with a perforated carbon film and then blotted with filter paper to obtain a thin aqueous film. The grid was vitrified immediately by plunging the grid (kept at 100 % humidity and 22°C) into liquid ethane maintained at its melting point using a Vitrobot (FEI Company, Hillsboro, OR, USA). The vitreous films were transferred to a Talos TEM (FEI Company, Hillsboro, OR, USA) using a Gatan cryotransfer (Gatan, Pleasanton, CA, USA), and the samples were observed in a low-dose mode. Images were acquired at 300 kV at a temperature around −173°C with a charge-coupled device camera (FEI Company, Hillsboro, OR, USA).
The morphology of Cipro-Col-Lips dry powder prepared using the USFD method was obtained by the scanning electron microscope (SEM, NOVA nanoSEM, FEI Company, Hillsboro, OR, USA) at 5.0 kV. Each formulation powder was poured on a carbon sticky tape attached to the metal stubs. The stubs were then placed in a sputter coater (208 HR, Cressington Sputter Coater, England, UK) to obtain gold coating at 40 mA for 90 s to achieve a coating thickness of 10 – 40 nm.

Northern Blot Analysis of comEA and mreB

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Northern-blot analysis were performed as previously described39 (link). Briefly, three micrograms of total RNA in denaturing buffer were loaded per lane and run on denaturing formaldehyde 1.5% agarose gel in MOPS buffer. RNA were transferred to nylon membrane (IMMOBILON-NY+, Millipore corporation) by capillary transfer in 10X SSC buffer (Saline Sodium Citrate 1X: 150 mM NaCl + 15 mM sodium citrate) and then cross-linked to the membrane by UV irradiation. Membrane were hybridised at 42 °C with 5′-biotinylated oligonucleotide probes (5 nM) for either comEA (comEA2-NB) or mreB (mreB-NB) in ULTRAhyb Ultrasensitive Hybridisation Buffer (Ambion, Austin, TX). Following overnight hybridisation the membranes were washed twice in 2X SSC buffer containing 0.1% SDS at 65 °C according to the ULTRAhyb manufacturer instructions. Probed membranes were revealed using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin and enhanced luminol substrate (Chemiluminescent Nucleic Acid Detection Module, Pierce, Rockford, IL). Luminescence signals were acquired using an imaging workstation equipped with a charge-coupled device camera (Thermo).

Quantitative Northern Blot Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Northern-blot analysis was performed as previously described42 (link). One microgram of total RNA in TBE (Tris, Borate, EDTA)-Urea denaturing buffer (Thermo Fischer) was loaded per lane and run on denaturing urea 6% acrylamide gel in TBE buffer. Total RNAs were visualized by ethidium bromide staining to check for equal loading of the lanes. RNAs were transferred to a charged nylon membrane (Amersham Hybond-N+, GE Healthcare Science) by electrophoretic transfer (30 min, 300 mA) and then cross-linked to the membrane by UV irradiation. Membrane were hybridised at 42 °C with 5′-biotinylated oligonucleotide probes (5 nM) for tmRNA in ULTRAhyb Ultrasensitive Hybridization Buffer (Ambion). Following overnight hybridisation, the membranes were washed twice in 2X SSC buffer containing 0.1% SDS at 65 °C according to the ULTRAhyb manufacturer instructions. Probed membranes were revealed using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin and enhanced luminol substrate (Chemiluminescent Nucleic Acid Detection Module, Pierce). Luminescence signals were acquired using an imaging workstation equipped with a charge-coupled device camera (Thermo Scientific).

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.
