Images of whole-mount nodulated roots were captured using a Leica stereo fluorescence microscope M205FA equipped with a Leica DFC310FX digital camera (Leica Microsystems). Detached nodules were embedded in Shandon cryomatrix (Thermo scientific) and were sliced into 30-µm thick sections with a rotary cryomicrotome CM1850 (Leica Microsystems). For confocal microscopy, sample preparation was done according to Haynes and associates (2004) . Sections were stained with Calcofluor (Life Technologies), propidium iodide (Life Technologies), and Syto9 (Life Technologies). Images were acquired with a Leica TCS SP5 II AOBS confocal laser scanning microscope (Leica Microsystems). For confocal and scanning electron microscopy, sample preparation was done according to (Kundu and DasGupta 2018) . All digital micrographs were processed using Adobe Photoshop CS5.

Zn2+ Imaging in C2C12 Myoblasts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Proliferating and differentiating C2C12 cells were loaded with 2 μM Fluo-Zin3 AM, cell permeant (Invitrogen) in the corresponding culture media for 40 min at 37 °C. Fluo-Zin3 has a high affinity to bind Zn2+. Then, the cells were washed with fresh media and allowed to rest for another 20 min at 37 °C. For live imaging of Zn the media was exchanged for PBS right before microscopic analyses, to avoid fluorescent interference of the culture media. In addition, cells were fixed with 10% formalin-PBS and counterstained with DAPI. Fluorescence images were obtained with a Leica TCS SP5 II AOBS confocal laser-scanning microscope (Leica).

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.
