Lsm 710 axioobserver inverted 34 channel confocal

Manufactured by Zeiss

The LSM 710 AxioObserver Inverted 34-Channel Confocal is a high-performance microscope system designed for advanced imaging applications. It features a 34-channel detection system, allowing for simultaneous acquisition of multiple fluorescent signals. The system is optimized for live-cell imaging and provides exceptional spatial and temporal resolution. Its inverted design enables convenient sample handling and observation.

Immunofluorescence Staining of Mouse Brain

Mice were deeply anesthetized and transcardially perfused using PBS followed by 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS. Brains were post-fixed in fixative and stored in 30% sucrose in PBS overnight for cryoprotection. Brains were embedded and mounted with Tissue-Tek OCT compound (Sakura finetek) and 20 μm sections were cut using a cryostat (Leica). Brain slices were washed using PBS, permeabilized using PBST (0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS) for 30 min and then incubated with blocking solution (5% normal goat serum or normal donkey serum in PBST) for 1 hr followed by primary antibody incubation overnight at 4 °C using following antibodies:
The next day, slices were washed with PBS and incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies for 2 hrs (1:500, All from Invitrogen):
The slices were washed with PBS followed by counterstaining with DAPI or Hoechst and coverslipped. Fluorescence images were taken using a confocal microscope (LSM 710 AxioObserver Inverted 34-Channel Confocal, Zeiss) or Nanozoomer (Hamamatsu).

Detecting GAD2 mRNA Expression by FISH

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FISH was performed to detect GAD2 mRNA. Brains were embedded and mounted with Tissue-Tek OCT compound (Sakura finetek), and 30 μm sections were cut using a cryostat (Leica). FISH was performed using an RNAscope assay according to the manufacturer’s instructions (RNAscope® Fluorescent Multiplex Reagent Kit, Cat. # 320850, Advanced cell Diagnostics). Sections were hybridized with a GAD2 probe (Mm-Gad2, 439371) and eGFP probe (EGFP-C3, 400281-C3), and amplification steps were carried out followed by Hoechst staining. Fluorescence images were taken using a confocal microscope (LSM 710 AxioObserver Inverted 34-Channel Confocal, Zeiss) or a fluorescence microscope (BZ-X700, Keyence).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of ChR2-Expressing Neurons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were deeply anesthetized and transcardially perfused with 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) followed by 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS. After removal, brains stayed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde. For cryoprotection, brains were stored in 30% sucrose (w/v) in PBS solution for at least 1 night. Brains were sliced in 30 or 40 μm sections using a cryostat (Leica). For immunohistochemistry, non-specific binding sites were blocked by incubating the brain sections in 2% goat serum (Millipore) in PBST (0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS).
To amplify the fluorescence of axon fibers expressing ChR2-eYFP or eYFP, we applied antibodies for GFP (A11122, Life Technologies, 1:1000). Brain sections were incubated with the primary antibody diluted in blocking solution for 2 nights. A species-specific secondary antibody conjugated with green Alexa fluorophore (A11008, Life Technologies, 1:1000; goat anti-rabbit) was diluted in PBS and applied for 2 h. Fluorescence images were taken using a confocal microscope (LSM 710 AxioObserver Inverted 34-Channel Confocal, Zeiss), fluorescence microscope (Keyence, BZ-X710), and Nanozoomer 2.0 RS (Hamamatsu).

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.
