Firstly, 50 μL of mPEG-C/S/S-MUCNPs (500 μg/mL) were injected intradermally into the subcutaneous tissue of nude mice. The system includes two external adjustable CW 980 nm lasers (05 W) (Shanghai Connet Fiber Optics Co., Shanghai, China) sources and an Andor DU897 EMCCD as the signal collector. Images of luminescent signals were processed with the Kodak Molecular Imaging software (Rochester, NY, USA).

All confocal images presented in this study were captured using a Nikon A1Rsi point scanning confocal microscopy with a Nikon Ti2‐E motorized inverted microscopy and Perfect Focus System. Images were taken with an Andor DU897 EMCCD and a 100× objective immersed with oil (CFI Plan ApochromatVC N.A. = 1.40). The system was driven by NIS Elements 5.01 (Nikon) software.

The reaction products were diluted 100-fold in the imaging buffer (1 mg mL–1 glucose oxidase, 0.4% (w/v) d-glucose, 0.04% mg mL–1 catalase, 50 μg mL–1 BSA, 67 mM glycine–KOH, 1 mg mL–1 trolox, 2.5 mM MgCl2, pH 9.4). For TIRF imaging, 10 μL of samples was directly pipetted to the coverslips. A sapphire 488 nm laser (50 mW, Coherent, U.S.A.) was used to excite the 605QDs. The photons from the 605QD and Cy5 were collected by a 100× objective (Olympus, Japan) and imaged with an exposure time of 100 ms by an Andor Ixon DU897 EMCCD. Generally, six frames of images from six different locations were acquired for every sample and a region of interest (200 × 400 pixels) of each image was selected for Cy5 molecule counting through the image J software.

Live imaging and cortical ablation were performed on a Nikon Eclipse Ti-E inverted microscope equipped with a Yokogawa CSU-X1 spinning disk head, 1.4 NA 60X oil objective, Andor DU-897 EMCCD and a dedicated 100 mW 405 diode ablation laser, generously provided by the Nikon Centre of Excellence at Vanderbilt University. The instrument was controlled using Nikon Elements AR software. For ablation, a 1.4 μm x 1.4 μm ROI was used for all experiments. A DIC and/or fluorescence image was acquired before ablation, followed by ablation using a miniscanner. A pixel dwell time of 500 ms, 50% laser power was used for a duration of 1 s, followed by acquiring DIC or fluorescence images at 2 s intervals. Samples were maintained at 37°C with 5% CO2 using Tokai Hit Stage Incubator.
To image MIIA and MIIB in fixed ESC colonies, large image stitching was performed using the 60X objective in Elements software. Z sections were acquired at 1 mm intervals for the entire stitch and maximum projections were displayed and used for generating line scans. To image endogenous MIIA and MIIB in fixed HeLa cells, single slices through the middle of the cell were acquired using the 60X objective.

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.
