Conventional wide-field fluorescence microscopy imaging was carried out on an AxioObserver inverted microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany), equipped with 100×/1.45 oil Plan Apo Lambda phase objective, Orca FLash4 V2 CMOS camera (Hamamatsu) and a Colibri 7 LED light source (Carl Zeiss, Germany). Acquisition was performed using ZEN Blue 3.2 (Carl Zeiss, Germany) with different filters (Carl Zeiss, Germany) and parameters, depending on the fluorescent reporter or chemical dye (table S5).

The Micro-Manager program (Edelstein et al., 2014) was used to control the microscope (Nikon Eclipse Ti) which is equipped with perfect focus (Nikon), a 100x VC DIC lens (Nikon), a fluorescent filter for YFP (Semrock), an X-cite fluorescent light source (Excelitas) and an Orca Flash 4v2 CMOS camera (Hamamatsu). For step input a pump rate of 0.1 ml/minute was used.

Rapid Automated Modular Microscopy Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples were imaged on a custom ‘RAMM’ Rapid Automated Modular Microscope (ASI Imaging, OR, USA). The microscope consists of the RAMM chassis with a quad bandpass filter for imaging DAPI, GFP, Cy3, and Cy5 (VCGR-SPX-P01-PC, Chroma Technology Corp., VT, USA). The RAMM is coupled to the following hardware: MS-2000 motorized XY stage (ASI Imaging), ORCA-Flash4 V2 CMOS camera (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., Japan), 40x/1.4 N.A. oil immersion objective (Zeiss, Germany), SpectraX Light Engine (Lumencor, OR, USA), FW-1000 High Speed Emission Filter Wheel (ASI Imaging), and TG-1000 Tiger Controller (ASI Imaging). The filter wheel contains additional emission filters for Cy3 and Cy5 (605/70, 700/75, Semrock, Inc., NY, USA). Automated control of the microscope is programmed through a MicroManager computer interface (Edelstein et al., 2010). The following excitation wavelengths/camera exposures were used for each channel: 395nm/25ms (DAPI), 550nm/500ms (Cy3), and 640nm/500ms (Cy5). Z-stacks with a 0.5μm step size were used to image the whole volume of the cell (U2OS and HBEC = ~11 slices, MCF7= ~14 slices). The stack is then converted into a maximum intensity projection to produce a single image containing all the volume information for a given field of view.

Quantifying Hog1 Nuclear Localization in Yeast

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the quantification of nuclear enrichment of Hog1 terminal kinase in individual yeast cells as an indicator of pathway activation, we employed a strain in which a yellow-fluorescent protein (YFP) was integrated at the C-terminus of the endogenous Hog1 protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 yeast, using homologous DNA recombination.
Our imaging setup consisted of an inverted microscope, specifically the Nikon Eclipse Ti, which was equipped with several components, including perfect focus (Nikon), a 100× VC DIC lens (Nikon), a YFP fluorescent filter from Semrock, an X-cite fluorescent light source (Excelitas), and an Orca Flash 4v2 CMOS camera from Hamamatsu. The entire system was controlled via the Micro-Manager program.
To capture images, we conducted the following steps:
Utilizing the microscope’s xy-plane movement, we selected a field of view that exhibited an optimal density of yeast cells within a single z-plane. The z-focus was carefully adjusted to visualize the boundary of most cells, appearing as a white ring. Time-lapse images were recorded, encompassing both bright-field images, taken at intervals of every 10 seconds, and fluorescent channel images, acquired at intervals of every minute.

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.
