Fluorescence ratio imaging microscopy: temporal and spatial measurements of cytoplasmic pH
Fluorescence ratio imaging microscopy (Tanasugarn, L., P. McNeil, G. Reynolds, and D. L. Taylor, 1984, J. Cell Biol., 98:717-724) has been used to measure the spatial variations in cytoplasmic pH of individual quiescent and nonquiescent Swiss 3T3 cells. Fundamental issues of ratio imaging that permit precise and accurate temporal and spatial measurements have been addressed including: excitatio...
متن کاملSpectral imaging microscopy demonstrates cytoplasmic pH oscillations in glial cells.
Glial cells exhibit distinct cellular domains, somata, and filopodia. Thus the cytoplasmic pH (pH(cyt)) and/or the behavior of the fluorescent ion indicator might be different in these cellular domains because of distinct microenvironments. To address these issues, we loaded C6 glial cells with carboxyseminaphthorhodafluor (SNARF)-1 and evaluated pH(cyt) using spectral imaging microscopy. This ...
متن کاملNoninvasive measurement of bacterial intracellular pH on a single-cell level with green fluorescent protein and fluorescence ratio imaging microscopy.
We show that a pH-sensitive derivative of the green fluorescent protein, designated ratiometric GFP, can be used to measure intracellular pH (pHi) in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial cells. In cells expressing ratiometric GFP, the excitation ratio (fluorescence intensity at 410 and 430 nm) is correlated to the pHi, allowing fast and noninvasive determination of pHi that is ideally...
متن کاملFluorescence Ratio Imaging
In this paper, the properties of the mean and variance of three estimators of the ratio between two random variables x, y are discussed. Given n samples of x and y we can construct two different estimators. One is biased and the other is asymptotically unbiased. Using the noise characteristics (variance, covariance) a third, unbiased estimator can be constructed. 1. Introduction In fluorescence...
متن کاملSpectral imaging fluorescence microscopy.
The spectral resolution of fluorescence microscope images in living cells is achieved by using a confocal laser scanning microscope equipped with grating optics. This capability of temporal and spectral resolution is especially useful for detecting spectral changes of a fluorescent dye; for example, those associated with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Using the spectral imaging ...
