Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Electrochemical properties for the three EF devices in this study were examined using a universal potentiostat [model CHI 624B (CH Instruments, Inc.)]. It helps to calculate the injected/ejected charge during EF switching experiment. The graph which have time x axis and charge y axis showed delta charged value into EF devices. As a result, R% value in Table S1 was calculated. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was performed after 5 min of nitrogen purging. Fluorescence spectra were obtained using a Model LS55 luminescence spectrometer (PerkinElmer). When recording the fluorescence along with the external voltage, in situ fluorescence of the switching device was obtained using a luminescence spectrometer. NIR photography was obtained with a digital camera (IR cut-off filter removed, 5D Mark III, Canon) equipped with a visible-light cut-off filter (720 nm cut-off filter) and with a 684 nm excitation source as shown in Fig. S1.

Absorption spectra and isomerization
kinetics were measured in a UV–vis spectrophotometer (Cary
60 UV–vis, Agilent Technologies) equipped with a Peltier-thermostated
cell holder for temperature control (accuracy 0.1 °C). The 50
μM DAE-acetonitrile sample was measured in a 1 cm quartz cuvette,
while the solid-state sample was a 10 μm thick film with planar
alignment or a 20 μm thick film with 90° twisted alignment.
Cross-polarized microscope images were taken with Zeiss Axio Scope.A1.
An LCN strip with dimensions of 3 × 0.5 × 0.02 mm3 (90° twisted alignment) was used for studying the photomechanical
response upon UV (365 nm) and visible (550 nm) illumination (Prior
Scientific multiple LED light source). The light sources used were
coupled into a liquid light guide equipped with a collimator lens
before illuminating the sample. The intensities were measured in front
of the sample position. Photographs and movies were recorded using
a Canon 5D Mark III camera with a 100 mm objective lens, and thermal
images were taken with an infrared camera (FLIR T420BX) equipped with
a close-up (2×) lens. Stress–strain curves were determined
by a homemade tensile tester in a 50 μm thick planar film with
stretching speed of 0.1 mm s–1 and stretching direction
in parallel with the LC director.

The Institutional Review Board of Yanbian University reviewed and approved the study. Our study used 50 legs from 25 Asian cadavers (mean age, 82.2 ± 8 years; 10 feet from women and 40 feet from men). All specimens had been sterilized with alcohol and preserved in 10% formalin and had no history of trauma or surgery. All individuals had donated their bodies to medical education and research. Surgical instruments for dissection, surgical microinstruments, vernier calipers with 0.02 mm accuracy, and a digital camera (5D MARK III; Canon, Tokyo, Japan) were used.

Arabidopsis Growth and Molecular Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Arabidopsis plants were grown a 19 °C on soil with a 16-h-light and 8-h-dark cycle in environmental-controlled growth chamber (Xu et al., 2017 (link)). Seeds were surface sterilized and hypocotyl growth determined as described (Xu et al., 2017 (link)). Images of hypocotyls and adult plants were obtained with a Canon 5D Mark III digital camera. Hypocotyl length and plant heights were measured and then analyzed using Image J software (Abramoff, Magalhaes & Ram, 2004 ).
To identify the MUR3 gene background in transgenic plants, DNA was extracted from Arabidopsis rosette leaves using the EasyPure Plant Genomic DNA Kit (EE111-01; TransGen, China). Total RNA was extracted from Arabidopsis rosette leaf, stem, hypocotyl and mature root using the EasyPure Plant RNA Kit (ER301-01; TransGen, China). TransScript®One-Step gDNA Removal and cDNA Synthesis SuperMix Kit (AT311-02; TransGen, China) was used to synthesize first-strand cDNA. This DNA was then used to determine the expression level of the homologous MUR3 genes in transgenic plants by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The Arabidopsis ACTIN gene was used as a reference. The primers used are listed in Supplemental File 1.

Measuring Main Root Length

After salt treatment, the main root length data was obtained from ten seedlings of each treatment. Images were captured with a Canon 5D Mark III digital camera. Image J software was used to measure the main root length [40 ]. The root length data were analyzed with the ANOVA method using the SPSS software and, at p < 0.05, differences were considered statistically significant.

Characterization of Photoactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Absorption spectra were measured with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Cary 60 UV-Vis, Agilent Technologies) equipped with a custom-made polarization controller. Optical images and movies were recorded by using a Canon 5D Mark III camera with a 100 mm lens, and thermal images were recorded with an Infrared camera (FLIR T420BX) equipped with a close-up 2 × lens. Light from a continuous-wave linearly polarized laser (488 nm, Coherent Genesis CX SLM) was coupled into the fibre from one end, and output power from the LCE center at the other end was measured and reported as the excitation power for all the experiments. Light emitted from the fibre is de-polarized with polarization ratio of ∼1.7. No visible actuation difference in LCE has been observed by change of input laser polarization. Before each experiment, the LCE strips were alternately immersed into water and ethanol, to remove surface charge potentially generated upon removing the strips from the glass cells, or upon interacting with objects such as PDMS. The force generation upon photoactuation was measured by mounting a 5 × 1 × 0.02 mm3 LCE strip onto a three-dimensional translation stage, and illuminating with 488 nm laser at 45° angle of incidence, as shown in the inset of Fig. 4a. Upon illumination the sample bent over 90° and being in contact with a force sensor, the light-induced force vs. light intensity was recorded.

Absorption spectra were measured with a UV–Vis spectrophotometer (Cary 60 UV–Vis, Agilent Technologies). Optical images and movies were recorded by using Nikon (D7100) and Canon 5D Mark III camera with a 100 mm lens. Thermal images were recorded with an infrared camera (FLIR T420BX, close‐up 2× lens, 50 µm resolution). Light from a continuous laser (488 nm, Coherent Innova 300C) was coupled into a multi‐mode optical fiber (400 µm core, Thorlabs), the output beam was collimated by a lens before shining onto the robot.

The type material of the new species described in this paper is deposited in the Insect Collection of Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai, China (SNUC). The text of the specimen label is quoted verbatim in quotation marks (‘’).
Male genital parts (tergite and sternite VIII, and aedeagus) were dissected, and are preserved in Euparal on a plastic slide pinned beneath the specimen. The habitus images were taken using a Canon 5D Mark III camera in conjunction with a Canon MP-E 65 mm f/2.8 1–5× Macro Lens, and a Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash was used as the light source. Images of the external characters were taken using a Leica DMC5400 color CMOS camera in conjunction with a Leica M205 C stereomicroscope. Images of the aedeagi were produced using a Canon G9 camera mounted to an Olympus CX31 microscope under transmitted light. Zerene Stacker (version 1.04) was used for image stacking. Line drawings were made using Adobe Illustrator CC 2018. All images were optimized and grouped into plates using Adobe Photoshop CC 2018.
The abdominal tergites and sternites are numbered following Chandler (2001) in Arabic (starting from the first visible segment) and Roman (reflecting true morphological position) numerals, e.g., tergite 1 (IV), or sternite 1 (III).

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.
