Fv1000 aom multiphoton system

Manufactured by Olympus

The FV1000-AOM multiphoton system is a specialized lab equipment designed for high-resolution imaging. It utilizes multiphoton excitation technology to enable deep tissue imaging with low phototoxicity. The system includes an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) for flexible control of the laser beam.

Intravital Imaging of Neutrophil Migration

To visualize migration of neutrophils, intravital imaging was performed using FV1000-AOM multiphoton system (Olympus) equipped with a 25x NA1.05 water immersion objective. For two-photon excitation, a Mai-Tai HP Ti:Sa Deep See laser system (Spectra-Physics) was tuned to 900nm for imaging. Neutrophils labeled with CellTracker™ Green CMFDA (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) were intradermally injected into ear skin 2h before in vivo imaging. Mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital (Nembutal Sodium solution, Oak Pharmaceuticals, Inc., IL) and anesthetic condition was maintained using isoflurane. Hair of the mouse ear was removed using a commercial hair remover (Nair, Princeton, NJ). The anesthetized mice were laid in a ventral recumbent position on a custom-designed stage to expose the dorsal side of the ear pinna for imaging. Micropore™ (3M health care, MN) tapes were placed to immobilize the ear skin. Body temperature of the mice was controlled with heat pad and the ear immersed in a drop of glycerol/saline (40:60 v/v) and covered with a coverslip. Laser injury was induced by focusing the multiphoton laser tuned to 800 nm at a region within the ear dermis for 5 seconds. To track and analyze the movements of the neutrophils, Volocity software (Improvision/Perkin-Elmer, Waltham, MA) and ImageJ (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) were used.

Visualizing Neutrophil Cytoskeletal Dynamics

Primary mouse neutrophils were allowed to adhere on an ICAM-1–coated plate in L-15 medium containing glucose (2 mg/ml) and then were stimulated with the appropriate compounds at 37°C. For inhibitor studies, the cells were pretreated with a given inhibitor for 15 min before being stimulated. After 5 min, the cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 15 min at room temperature. The cells were washed with ice-cold PBS and permeabilized with PBS containing 0.1%Triton X-100 for 10 min, which was followed by washing with PBS. Acti-stain 555 phalloidin (150 nM; Cytoskeleton Inc.) was added to the cells and incubated for 20 min, and any excess reagent was washed off with PBS. The cells were visualized, and 10 random images were captured with an epifluorescence microscope (Olympus Inc.) with a 40×, 0.75-NA (numerical aperture) air objective. Random images were selected, and the polarized cells were labeled. Data were pooled, and the number of polarized cells was calculated. For Fig. 7D, the coverslips were mounted on a slide with Fluoromount-G (SouthernBiotech) and imaged with the confocal functionality of a FV1000-AOM multiphoton system (Olympus Inc.) equipped with a 60×, 1.35-NA oil immersion lens (Olympus) using 565-nm excitation.

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.
