Fluorescence microscopy was performed on a Nikon Ti2E microscope equipped with Plan Apo 100x/1.4NA phase contrast oil objective and an sCMOS camera. Images were acquired using Nikon Elements software. Cells were immobilized using 2% agarose pads containing growth media. Membranes were stained with FM4–64 (Molecular Probes) at 3 μg/ ml. DNA was stained with DAPI at 2 μg/ml. Images were cropped, linearly adjusted and analyzed using MetaMorph software (Molecular Devices). Final figures were prepared in Adobe Illustrator.

Fluorescence microscopy was performed on a Nikon Ti microscope equipped with Plan Apo 100x/1.4NA phase contrast oil objective and a CoolSnapHQ2 camera. Cells were immobilized using 1.5% agarose pads containing CH medium. Membranes were stained with TMA-DPH (50μM) (Molecular Probes). Exposure times were 400 ms and 800 ms for TMA-DPH and mCherry, respectively. Quantitative image analysis was performed using Oufti [75 (link)]. Meshes were created using the cytoplasmic mCherry images. The length of the long axis of >350 cells was determined and the mean cell length was calculated. Images were cropped and adjusted using MetaMorph software (Molecular Devices). Final figures were prepared in Microsoft PowerPoint.

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.
