Objective n a 0

Manufactured by Nikon
Sourced in United States

The 10x objective (N.A. 0.45) is a standard optical lens component used in various laboratory equipment. It provides a 10x magnification with a numerical aperture of 0.45, which determines the light-gathering capability of the lens. This objective is designed to be part of a larger optical system and serves to magnify and focus the image of a specimen or sample.

Following incubation,
emulsions were imaged by microscopy. A monolayer of droplets was sandwiched
between two glass slides (1 mm thick bottom slide, Paul Marienfeld
GmbH & Co, 0.17 mm thick top slide, VWR) spaced using 10 μm
polystyrene particles (Polysciences, Inc.) to avoid droplet compression.
The chamber was sealed with epoxy glue (Sader). Images were acquired
on an epifluorescence microscope Eclipse Ti equipped with a motorized
XY stage (Nikon), a camera Nikon DS-Qi2, an apochromatic 10×
objective (N.A. 0.45, Nikon) and a CoolLed pE-400 illumination source.
Composite images were generated with the open source software ImageJ.
Droplets were analyzed using the Mathematica software (Wolfram) by
following a previously reported procedure.28 (link) The concentration of microRNA is computed using the formula and where Fg and Fr are the
fraction of green- and red-positive
droplets, respectively; NA is the Avogadro
number, and V is the volume of the droplets.

Images were taken with an inverted Eclipse Ti-E (Nikon Instruments Inc., Melville, NY, USA) microscope equipped with a 10× objective (N.A. 0.45, Nikon Instruments Inc., Melville, NY, USA) and an EMCCD camera (iXon Ultra, Andor-an Oxford Instruments company, Belfast, Ireland). ANDOR iQ3 Imaging software (Andor-an Oxford Instruments company, Belfast, Ireland) was used for stage movement control and image capture. Quantification of fluorescence intensity and number of cells was done with NIH ImageJ.

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.
