Axiovision camera and software

Manufactured by Zeiss
Sourced in United States

AxioVision is a camera and software package from ZEISS that is designed for microscopy applications. It provides image acquisition, processing, and analysis capabilities for a wide range of microscopy techniques. The core function of AxioVision is to capture high-quality digital images from microscope samples and enable further analysis and documentation.

Quantitative Fluorescence Imaging of Neurons

Fluorescent images were obtained on a Carl Zeiss widefield epi-fluorescence microscope via AxioVision camera and software. Low-magnification images for stage analyses were taken at 20× while high-magnification images for neuron measurements were taken at 40× or 100×. Image analysis was completed through ImageJ software. We used the NeuronJ software plugin to trace and measure axons and minor neurites. Axon branches were only counted if they were a minimum of 5 μm. Neurite lengths were measured from the base of the process at the soma to the tip of the Tuj1 stain. Stage 3 neurons’ minor neurites were measured in thickness at 0 μm, 5 μm, and 10 μm from the edge of the soma. Stage 3 neurons’ axons were measured in thickness at 0 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, and 25 μm from the edge of the soma. For Fig. 7D, images of tubulin in axons were captured using a Deltavision widefield microscope and then deconvolved. The intensity of tubulin staining was measured across the width of the axon at 5 μm, 10 μm, and 25 μm using Zeiss Zen 2 lite imaging software profile tool.

Sections of paraffin-embedded colon tissues were dewaxed in xylene, rehydrated, and subjected to antigen retrieval in 10 mM citrate buffer. Sections were blocked for 30 min in 1% bovine serum albumin, 0.02% Triton X-100, and 5% normal goat serum (NGS). Serial sections were incubated with rabbit polyclonal ZO-1 antibody (1:200 dilution) and occludin antibody (1:200 dilution), followed by Cy5-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA, USA). The sections were mounted using Vectashield with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Images from serial sections were acquired using an Axioskop inverted microscope with an AxioVision camera and software (Zeiss, Thornwood, NY, USA).

Quantitative Analysis of Cerebellar Myelination

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cryo-protected cerebellums were sectioned para-sagittally at 30μm and stored at -20°C in a glycerol/ethylene glycol storage solution. Prior to staining, sections stored at -20°C were left for 30’ at room temperature and were then washed three times in PBS. Sections were incubated in wells overnight at 4°C with mouse anti-calbindin antibody (Swant cat no. 300) made up in PBS with 0.5% Triton X100 and 2% normal goat serum. Secondary antibodies (Dylite 594 anti-mouse) were made up in PBS with 0.5% Triton X100 and 2% normal goat serum and were incubated for 2h at room temperature. Cholera toxin B subunit directly conjugated to alexafluor488 (Invitrogen, Cat ♯ C-34775) used at 1:500 in PBS with 0.5% Triton X100 and 2% BSA. Sections incubated overnight at 4°C. All washing steps were performed three times in PBS. Sections were mounted onto Superfrost slides and allowed to air dry overnight protected from light and dust before mounting in Mowiol. Images of lobules IV and VI (early and late degenerating lobules respectively) were obtained using a Zeiss fluorescent microscope and Zeiss AxioVision camera and software. Measurements of myelin area and length were performed with ImageJ software (Version 1.46r; NIH, USA).

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.
