Csu x1 spinning disk

Manufactured by Nikon

The CSU-X1 is a spinning disk confocal microscope from Nikon. It is designed for high-speed, multi-point confocal imaging. The CSU-X1 utilizes a rapidly rotating Nipkow-type disk to provide optical sectioning and enable simultaneous illumination and detection of multiple points within a sample.

Measuring Mitosis Dynamics in RPE1 Cells

RPE1 CRISPRi or CRISPRa cells were infected with lentivirus as described above. Subsequently, cells were selected using 10 μg/ml puromycin for 7 days. The cells were seeded in 96-wells glass bottom dishes (Matriplate, Brooks). Immediately prior to imaging the medium was replaced by Leibovitz’s L-15 (GIBCO) CO2-independent medium supplemented with the indicated concentrations of rigosertib. The cells were imaged using a Yokogawa CSU-X1 spinning disk confocal attached to an inverted Nikon TI microscope with Nikon Perfect Focus system, CFI Plan Apochromat 20X NA 0.75 objective, an Andor iXon Ultra 897 EM-CCD camera, and Micro-Manager software (Edelstein et al., 2014 (link)). Cells were imaged every 15 min for 10 hr. For RPE1 CRISPRa cells, nuclear envelope breakdown and reformation was determined by nuclear localization of the scFv-GFP-NLS and was defined as mitotic entry and exit, respectively. For RPE1 CRISPRi cells, which do not express scFv-GFP-NLS, the duration of mitosis was determined as the moment of mitotic cell rounding until the moment of cleavage furrow ingression, as determined by fluorescence of BFP expressed from the sgRNA expression construct.

Mitochondrial Transport in Drosophila Neurons

Flies were mounted in oil (refractive index 1.334, Zeiss Immersol) between glass coverslips spaced with double-sided tape as shown in Fig. 6C and described previously (61 (link)). Mitochondrial transport recordings were performed on an inverted spinning disk microscope (Nikon Ti-Andor Revolution-Yogokawa CSU-X1 Spinning Disk) fitted with a Nikon 60× objective (Plan Apo, NA 1.27, W) and incubation chamber (Okolab, 25 °C). TdTomato was excited with 561 nm laser light and a dual-band bandpass filter was used for emission (FF01-512/630-25, Laser 2000). The 10-min long transport recordings consisted of 10-µm thick stacks, to account for wing movement, taken every 2 s. Mitochondrial time lapse recordings were registered using the StackReg plugin (ImageJ) and in-house Igor pro code was used to generate kymographs and analyze mitochondrial transport time lapse recordings as described previously (35 (link), 62 (link), 63 (link)).

Analyzing C. trachomatis Infection in SNX5 Mutant HeLa Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa cells were grown on glass coverslips, transfected with full-length FLAG-tagged SNX5WT or SNX5Y132D,F136D and infected with C. trachomatis for 24 hr. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde/D-PBS, permeabilized in 1x D-PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 min at room temperature, blocked in 1x/D-PBS containing 1% BSA for 1 hr, and stained with the indicated primary and fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies in blocking buffer for 1 hr each. Coverslips were mounted in Vectashield mounting media containing DAPI (Vector Laboratories) to identify bacteria and host cell nuclei. Single z slices were acquired using Yokogawa CSU-X1 spinning disk confocal mounted on a Nikon Eclipse Ti inverted microscope equipped with an Andora Clara digital camera and CFI APO TIRF 60x oil objective. Images were acquired by NIS-Elements software (Nikon). The exposure time for each filter set for all images was identical. Images were processed with Adobe Photoshop CS and NIS-Elements.

Quantifying mRNA Dynamics in Live Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were grown in 96-well glass bottom dishes (Matriplate, Brooks). Images were acquired using a Yokogawa CSU-X1 spinning disk confocal attached to an inverted Nikon TI microscope with Nikon Perfect Focus system, 100x NA 1.49 objective, an Andor iXon Ultra 897 EM-CCD camera, and Micro-Manager software (Edelstein et al., 2010 ). Single z-plane images were acquired every 30 s unless noted otherwise. During image acquisition, cells were maintained at a constant temperature of 36°C–37°C. Camera exposure times were generally set to 500 ms, unless noted otherwise. We note that stable expression of PP7-mCherry, either with or without the CAAX domain, also resulted in an accumulation of mCherry signal in lysosomes, but lysosomes could be readily distinguished from mRNA foci based on signal intensity and mobility.

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.
