Live-cell Imaging Using Fluorescence Microscopy
The ever increasing abundance of different fluorescent proteins and vital dyes that are available to researchers today make it possible to study a large variety of dynamic biological processes in live-cells [1, 2]. Many proteins of interest can be studied by expressing fluorescent fusion proteins in cells, either transiently by transfection or viral infection or permanently using transgenic ani...
متن کاملEnhanced live cell imaging via photonic crystal enhanced fluorescence microscopy.
We demonstrate photonic crystal enhanced fluorescence (PCEF) microscopy as a surface-specific fluorescence imaging technique to study the adhesion of live cells by visualizing variations in cell-substrate gap distance. This approach utilizes a photonic crystal surface incorporated into a standard microscope slide as the substrate for cell adhesion, and a microscope integrated with a custom illu...
متن کاملFull-field supercritical angle fluorescence microscopy for live cell imaging.
We introduce a full-field fluorescence imaging technique with axial confinement of about 100 nm at the sample/substrate interface. Contrary to standard surface imaging techniques, this confinement is obtained through emission filtering. This technique is based on supercritical emission selectivity. It can be implemented on any epifluorescence microscope with a commercial high numerical aperture...
متن کاملAutomated quantitative live cell fluorescence microscopy.
Advances in microscopy automation and image analysis have given biologists the tools to attempt large scale systems-level experiments on biological systems using microscope image readout. Fluorescence microscopy has become a standard tool for assaying gene function in RNAi knockdown screens and protein localization studies in eukaryotic systems. Similar high throughput studies can be attempted ...
متن کاملReducing Incidental Fluorescence in Live Cell Imaging
Fluorescence staining is the prevailing image acquisition technique in cell biology research. A problem of this method is the incidental fluorescence, that is the total fluorescence collected by a camera pixel originating from all sources in the sample except for the targeted point. As a result, typical images exhibit blurry regions at the periphery of fluorescence stained cell structures. Gene...
