Csu x1 head

Manufactured by Yokogawa
Sourced in Japan

The CSU-X1 head is a compact and versatile optical scanning unit designed for use in various imaging and microscopy applications. It functions as a core component for fast and efficient image acquisition by quickly scanning a sample or specimen. The CSU-X1 head provides consistent and reliable performance without further interpretation or extrapolation.

Live-cell imaging of cellular processes

Cells were seeded into 8-well dishes (Thistle Scientific, UK) to enable experiments to be performed in parallel. Before imaging, the culture medium was replaced with Leibovitz’s L-15 medium (Gibco Life Technologies, UK) supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum and penicillin/streptomycin. Cells were imaged on a DeltaVision micrososcope equipped with an environmental chamber at 37°C (API, USA) with a QuantEM camera (Photometrics, USA) and Lambda LS illumination (Sutter, USA) as previously described 10 (link), or a spinning disc microscope (Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Colorado, USA) equipped with a CSU-X1 head (Yokogawa, Japan) and a QuantEM:512sc EMCCD camera (Photometrics, USA). In fig. 2e, 3d and fig.4, images of DIC and fluorescence were captured at 6 min intervals and the fluorescence intensities were measured and analysed using ImageJ/Fiji software as previously described 10 (link).

Confocal Microscopy of Liver Lobe

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The exposed liver lobe was visualized with an Olympus IX81 inverted microscope equipped with a confocal light path (Wave-Fx; Quorum) based on a modified Yokogawa CSU-X1 head (Yokogawa Electric Corporation) with a UPLANSAPO 10×/0.40 or UPLANSAPO 20×/0.70 air objective. Four laser excitation wavelengths (491, 561, 643, and 730 nm; Cobalt) were used in rapid succession and visualized with the appropriate long-pass filters (Semrock). Exposure times for excitation wavelengths were 400 ms for all lasers. A back-thinned EMCCD 512×512 pixel camera (C9100–13, Hamamatsu, Bridgewater, NJ) was used for fluorescence detection. Volocity acquisition software (Improvision) was used to drive the microscope.

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.
