Five-parameter fluorescence imaging: wound healing of living Swiss 3T3 cells
Cellular functions involve the temporal and spatial interplay of ions, metabolites, macromolecules, and organelles. To define the mechanisms responsible for completing cellular functions, we used methods that can yield both temporal and spatial information on multiple physiological parameters and chemical components in the same cell. We demonstrated that the combined use of selected fluorescent...
متن کاملFluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of rhodamine 123 in living cells.
A novel setup for fluorescence intensity and lifetime imaging (FLIM) of living cells is reported. Time-resolving techniques are combined with total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM), which permits optical excitation of either plasma membranes or whole cells depending on whether the angle of incidence of the excitation light is greater or smaller than the critical angle for tot...
متن کاملFast fluorescence lifetime imaging of calcium in living cells.
A fast fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) system is developed that can acquire images at a rate of hundreds of frames per second. The FLIM system is based on a wide-field microscope equipped with a time-gated intensified CCD detector and a pulsed laser. The time-gated detector acquires the signals from two time gates simultaneously and is therefore insensitive to movements of the specimen and...
متن کاملFluorescence imaging of membrane dynamics in living cells.
Methods of wide-field fluorescence microscopy for measuring membrane dynamics of living cells are described, including spectral imaging as well as anisotropy imaging of the membrane marker 6-dodecanoyl-2-dimethylamino naphthalene (laurdan). Plasma membranes are selected by illumination with an evanescent electromagnetic field and distinguished from intracellular membranes assessed by whole-cell...
متن کاملPreparation of living isolated vertebrate photoreceptor cells for fluorescence imaging.
In the vertebrate retina, phototransduction, the conversion of light to an electrical signal, is carried out by the rod and cone photoreceptor cells¹⁻⁴. Rod photoreceptors are responsible for vision in dim light, cones in bright light. Phototransduction takes place in the outer segment of the photoreceptor cell, a specialized compartment that contains a high concentration of visual pigment, the...
