Fluorescence microscope system

Manufactured by Zeiss
Sourced in Germany

The Fluorescence Microscope System from Zeiss is a specialized optical instrument designed to capture and analyze the fluorescence properties of samples. It utilizes a focused beam of light to excite fluorescent molecules within the specimen, which then emit light at a different wavelength. This allows researchers to visualize and study the distribution, interactions, and dynamics of specific labeled components within the sample.

Apoptosis Detection in Cell Smears

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Treated cell smears were naturally dried and fixed at room temperature for 30 min using 4% paraformaldehyde. After washing with PBS three times, samples were immersed in the sealing solution (3% H2O2, methyl) and blocked at room temperature for 10min. Then, samples were immersed in cell membrane permeabilization solution (0.1% Triton X‐100) for 2 min at 37℃. Next, samples were stained with TUNEL Apoptosis Detection Kit (Roche, Germany) and counterstained with DAPI. Finally, a fluorescence microscope system (Carl Zeiss, Germany) was utilized to capture the images.

For the CCK-8 assay, CRC cells were suspended in 96-well plates at 1 × 106 cells/well, 20 μL of the thymidine analog5-ethynyl-29-deoxyuridine (EdU) solution (Becton-Dickinson, USA) was co-incubated with cells, the results were recorded by using the fluorescence microscope system (Carl Zeiss, Germany). The morphological change of CRC cells treated with anlotinib was observed with NIS microscope imaging software (Nikon, Japan). EdU-positive staining cells be counted in five diverse areas of each well, and we implemented three independent experiments in triplicate.

Photothermal Therapy of Tumor-Bearing Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Balb/c nude mice (5 weeks old) were obtained from the Laboratory Animal Center of Nanjing Medical University (Nanjing, China). The animal procedures were in accordance with the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Nanjing University. EMT-6 cells (1×107 cells/mL, 100 μL) were inoculated subcutaneously into the back of a nude mouse. Once the volume approached 100 mm3, the mouse was anaesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (i.p., 60 mg/kg) and intravenously injected with 100 μL of the NPs (10 mg/mL). Twelve hours later, the mouse was treated with an 808 nm laser in situ (0.8 W/cm2) for 10 mins. During the treatment, temperature at the tumor was recorded with a thermal imager and the luminescence of NPs was detected with a cooled visible light CCD (Sony ICX694, Japan) through a 500–550 nm bandpass filter. At 6 hrs after the thermal therapy, the treated mouse was imaged with the CCD camera, and then the tumor tissues and organs of the mouse were excised, fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde solution and subsequently processed routinely into paraffin. The mouse for control was treated as above but no injection and irradiation. All the sliced tissues were stained with H&E and examined by a Zeiss fluorescence microscope system.

TUNEL Apoptosis Assay for Kidney Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Apoptosis of the PTEC cells or frozen kidney sections was examined using a TUNEL kit (Roche, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, the samples were fixed with 4% PFA, permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS, and blocked with 5% bovine serum album (BSA). Then, the cells or tissue sections (5 μm) were stained with the TUNEL Apoptosis Detection Kit (Roche, Germany) and counterstained with DAPI. After staining, the images were captured by a fluorescence microscope system (Carl Zeiss AG, Germany).

For the morphometric analyses, transverse tissue sections (5 μm) of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded murine kidney tissues were stained with a standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) procedure. LUCIA software (Nikon) was used to capture the images.
Dihydroethidium (DHE, Cat No. S0063, Beyotime, China) was used to examine reactive oxygen species (ROS). Briefly, transverse tissue sections (5 μm) were subjected to DHE staining according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and the images were captured by a fluorescence microscope system (Carl Zeiss AG, Germany).

Chromosome Characterization of Ae. biuncialis Introgression Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Root tips of germinating seeds from the Mv9kr1ph1b_K × Ae. biuncialis amphiploids containing chromatin introgressed from Ae. biuncialis accessions MvGB380, MvGB1714, MvGB1733, MvGB1987, and MvGB1723 were used for chromosome preparation as described by Lukaszewski et al. (2004) (link). Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) experiment was done as described by Molnár et al. (2009) (link). Briefly, total genomic DNAs of Ae. umbellulata (UU) and Ae. comosa (MM), the diploid progenitors of Ae. biuncialis, were labeled with biotin (biotin-16-dUTP; Roche) and digoxigenin (digoxigenin-11-dUTP; Roche) by random priming and used as U- and M-genome probes, respectively. Unlabeled wheat genomic DNA was used as blocking DNA at a ratio of 30:1. Digoxigenin and biotin signals were detected using anti-digoxigenin-rhodamine Fab fragments and Alexa Fluor488, respectively. The slides were evaluated using the Zeiss fluorescence microscope system as described for the meiotic chromosome pairing analysis.

Fixed tissue was cryoprotected and serially sectioned at a thickness of 10–20 μm. The tissue sections were immunolabeled using 6E10 antibody (Covance), anti-calbindin D28k (Sigma-Aldrich), anti-GluR1 (from Millipore or developed as described [88 (link)]), anti-LAMP1 (BD Pharmingen; San Jose, California, USA), anti-cathepsin B (Millipore), anti-synaptophysin (Millipore), and antibodies that selectively label Aβ38 and Aβ42 (Covance). Immunofluorescence analyses used appropriate Invitrogen secondary antibodies (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Waltham, Massachusetts, USA), and images were captured with a Zeiss fluorescence microscope system (Carl Zeiss, Inc.; Thornwood, New York, USA) and with a Nikon C2 point-scanning confocal microscope with NIS-Elements AR software (Nikon Instruments; Melville, New York, USA). Other images were produced via avidin–biotin–peroxidase protocols (Vector Laboratories; Burlingame, California, USA) that used 3,3′-diaminobenzidine as the chromogen. In each case, treatment groups were immunostained together and analyzed under the same instrument settings. Equally spaced coronal sections along the rostral–caudal axis of the hippocampus were used to determine the average immunoreactivity intensity and area of staining across four different view-fields.

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.
