Lsm780 inverted

Manufactured by Zeiss
Sourced in Germany

The LSM780 inverted is a laser scanning microscope system designed for high-resolution imaging of biological samples. It features an inverted optical configuration, providing easy access to the specimen and enabling live-cell experiments. The system utilizes a range of laser sources and sensitive detectors to capture detailed images of fluorescently labeled samples. The core function of the LSM780 is to enable researchers to obtain high-quality, confocal microscopy data for their scientific investigations.

CRISPR Imaging of Human Telomeres

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CRISPR imaging of human telomeres was performed as described (Chen et al., 2013 (link)). Briefly, human MCF7 cells were transduced with lentiviruses expressing a dCas9-EGFP fusion protein driven by a TRE3G promoter and the Tet-on-3G trans-activator protein. After confirming the expression of the dCas9-EGFP fusion protein by induction with doxycycline (100 ng/ml), the cells were transduced with lentiviruses expressing the telomere-specific sgRNA (sgTelomere) in an 8-well chambered coverglass. The nuclear location of dCas9-EGFP was determined on a 2-photon fluorescence microscope (Zeiss LSM780 Inverted) with 40x and 60x objective lens. The images were acquired and analyzed on the ZEN software (Zeiss).

Cells were fixed in 3.7% (v/v) paraformaldehyde for 10 min, then permeabilized and blocked in PBS with 4% (v/v) bovine growth serum (Thermo Scientific) and 0.2% (v/v) Triton X-100 for 1 h, and subsequently incubated with primary antibodies for AcH3 (Millipore), Actc1 (Sigma), sarcomeric MyHC (R&D), Nppa (Millipore), Ryr2 (Sigma), Pln (Abcam) in blocking buffer overnight on a rocker at 4 °C. Secondary antibody incubation (Alexa 647, Life Technologies) was performed in blocking buffer for 1 h at room temperature. The fixed PDMS membranes were then mounted on slides in Vectashield® mounting medium and analysed with confocal microcospy (Zeiss LSM-780 inverted) or conventional epifluoresence microscopy with a Zeiss Axio-Observer Z1 widefield fluorescent microscope.
High-throughput image analysis was performed with a custom made Matlab® script. Briefly, cell nuclei were detected using contrast enhancement methods, then segmented with an edge detection algorithm (Canny; Matlab®), following which elliptical fitting was performed to compute the aspect ratio (short axis/long axis) and the angle between the long axis and the groove direction.

Quantitative Analysis of ORF1 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ten fields of view were taken on the Multiphoton Zeiss LSM780 inverted confocal microscope for each tumor and matched normal kidney. Images were deconvoluted with AutoQuant (AutoQuant) software using 10 iterations of three-dimensional deconvolution. The average fluorescence intensity of the ORF1 signal for each field of view was obtained using ImageJ software. The Z-stacks were projected using the sum slices projection type, and the mean gray value was recorded. The average fluorescence intensity of the ORF1 signal was normalized to the nuclei density. To obtain the nuclei volume using Imaris8 software (Bitplane), the surface of the blue channel was built using a baseline subtraction of 15,000. The ORF1 mean gray value was divided by the nuclei volume per field of view. To obtain the normalized fluorescence intensity, all images were then normalized to the average value of all 10 fields of view for the CMC87 sample.

Quantifying Fluorescence Intensity in Tissue Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Photomicrographs were taken with Nikon Eclipse-TE-2000U microscope at 20× magnification. Alternatively, for confocal imaging, a Leica TCS SP5 II or a Zeiss LSM-780 inverted microscope (z-stacks, slice spacing 1.65μm) were used at 20× or 63x magnification. DRG, spinal cord and sciatic nerve micrographs were processed with the software ImageJ: a constant fluorescence intensity threshold was set across each cell (or area) in control-tissues. On the basis of this threshold, for each cell (or area) in the samples, the intensity of pixels was calculated in each channel. This was done in triplicate and the investigator was blinded to the experimental group.

Transgenic pollen grains were germinated in liquid pollen tube germination medium (0.01% H3BO3, 5 mM CaCl2, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO4, 10% sucrose, pH 7.5) supplemented with 10 μM epibrassinolide. After incubation for 5 to 7 h at 23 °C, fluorescent images were captured using a Zeiss LSM780 inverted confocal microscope.

Biofilm Viability Analysis via CLSM

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate CLSM images, biofilms grown on dentin discs and treated with
different concentrations of BlueM® were washed and labeled with
Live/Dead BacLight Bacterial Viability Kit (L7012, Invitrogen Molecular Probes,
Eugene, OR, USA) containing SYTO9 (SY) and propidium iodide (PI), according to
the manufacturer’s instructions. The excitation/emission wavelengths were
488/500 nm for SYTO and 488/635 nm for PI. Fluorescence from the stained cells
was observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope (LSM 780 inverted,
Zeiss, Jena, Germany), and the images were acquired with ZEN 2012 software
(Zeiss) at a resolution of 1,024 by 1,024 pixels. Single focal plane images of
the biofilm were captured by the system with a 20x magnification lens. The area
selected for the biofilm analysis was randomly defined, but not so close to the
edges of the specimens.

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.
