The assembled microchamber system was imaged using a Zeiss Axio Observer.Z1 fluorescent microscope with a Hamamatsu Orca-Flash4.0 LT Digital CMOS camera (C11440-42 U) and an automatic stage. For each microchamber array, bright field images were taken to visualize the microchambers and fluorescent images were taken to visualize cells labeled with CD4 or CD8 antibodies. A set of 253 tiles (5X image) or 494 tiles (10X image) was taken for the entire array (54183uM x 24866uM). Using Zen2 Pro software, the tiles were exported as TIFF image files for analysis.

Wide-field fluorescence imaging was performed on inverted microscopes (IX83, Olympus) using an oil-immersion PlanApo 60× NA 1.42 objective lens. Digital still images were captured by ORCA-Flash4.0 LT+ digital CMOS camera (Hamamatsu) through the software MicroManager (Open Imaging) (62 (link)). For imaging of membrane infoldings, multiple z-stack images were captured on a confocal microscope (LSM 880 with Airyscan, Carl Zeiss) using an oil-immersion 63× NA 1.4 DIC objective lens. Images were captured with 32-channel GaAsp photomultiplier modules using ZEN 2.3 software (Carl Zeiss). All confocal z-stack images were subjected to Airyscan processing. For imaging and tracking of AChR vesicles, high-speed time-lapse images were captured at 200 ms per frame on live-SR super-resolution module on an iLas3 Ring-TIRF system (Gataca Systems). All acquisition settings (i.e., laser power and gain) were kept the same for different experimental groups in the same experiment. All acquired images were analyzed by ImageJ (NIH) or Imaris (Bitplane).

We fixed and stained the cells cultured on the chip after day 15. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (15711, Electron Microscopy Sciences) for 30 min, permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X- 100 (11332481001, Sigma-Aldrich) for 10 min, and then blocked with 3% bovine serum for 1 hr on ice to eliminate nonspecific binding. Specifically, we stained M1 phenotype macrophages by incubating the chip with iNOS primary antibodies (NB300–605, Novus Biologicals, 5 μg/mL) for 1 hr, and then visualized with Alexa Fluor 555 conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, 5 mg/mL). All cell nucleus was stained with DAPI. Fluorescent images were obtained using an inverted microscope (Zeiss Axio Observer.Z1) equipped with a digital CMOS camera (ORCA-Flash4.0 LT Digital CMOS camera, Hamamatsu Photonics) and a 10x objective.

Live and Apoptotic Cell Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used calcein-AM and propidium iodide as markers for live and apoptotic cells, respectively. Immediately following isolation, we incubated cells in the dark with 1 μM of calcein-AM for 30 min at 37°C. Then, the cells were centrifuged at 750 rpm for 5 min to remove residual extracellular dye, washed, recentrifuged, resuspended in PBS, and left for 10 minutes to ensure optimal retention of the calcein-AM. This was followed by a 5 min incubation with 1.25 μg/ml propidium, after which the cells were pelleted, washed and centrifuged, resuspended in a PBS, and plated on coverslips for imaging using an Olympus IX70 microscope and a 20X objective. Calcein-AM was detected using 488 nm excitation and 510 nm emission wavelengths, and propidium iodide was detected using and 596 nm excitation and 615 nm emission wavelengths. Images (2048 v 2048 pixels) from 4–5 fields per coverslip were captured and analyzed at 20X magnification using an Orca-Flash 4.0 LT digital CMOS camera (Hamamatsu Photonics, Bridgewater, NJ) and μManager 2.0 software (42 ).

Quantitative Microscopy for Cerebral Cortex

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A Zeiss Axio Imager M2 imaging microscope system (Carl Zeiss, Inc., Jena, Germany) and ORCA-Flash4.0 LT+ Digital CMOS camera (Hamamatsu, Hamamatsu, Japan) connected with computer software Stereo Investigator 10.0 (MicroBrightField, Inc., Williston, VT, USA) was used for image acquisition for the purpose of quantification. Twelve fields within each cerebral cortical sample from each slide were first randomly selected based upon the DAPI channel. The randomly selected RGB images of the cerebral cortex were acquired with cy3 (Red), FITC (Green), and DAPI (Blue) filters, using a 40× objective from the Zeiss Axio Imager M2 imaging microscope system (Figure 2) and ORCA-Flash4.0 LT+ Digital CMOS camera (Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8). Each wavelength was acquired separately using the same camera settings for each channel and then pseudo-merged into an RGB image for analysis in Adobe Photoshop. The optical conditions were rigorously maintained the same for all the analysis sessions.

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.
