Mapping microbubble viscosity using fluorescence lifetime imaging of molecular rotors.
Encapsulated microbubbles are well established as highly effective contrast agents for ultrasound imaging. There remain, however, some significant challenges to fully realize the potential of microbubbles in advanced applications such as perfusion mapping, targeted drug delivery, and gene therapy. A key requirement is accurate characterization of the viscoelastic surface properties of the micro...
متن کاملConfocal Fluorescence Anisotropy and FRAP Imaging of α-Synuclein Amyloid Aggregates in Living Cells
We assessed the intracellular association states of the Parkinson's disease related protein α-synuclein (AS) in living cells by transfection with a functional recombinant mutant protein (AS-C4) bearing a tetracysteine tag binding the fluorogenic biarsenical ligands FlAsH and ReAsH, The aggregation states of AS-C4 were assessed by in situ microscopy of molecular translational mobility with FRAP ...
متن کاملTime-resolved fluorescence anisotropy imaging applied to live cells.
We have developed a wide-field time-resolved imaging system to image quantitatively both the fluorescence lifetime and the rotational correlation time of a fluorophore. Using a polarization-resolved imager, we simultaneously image orthogonal polarization components of the fluorescence emission onto a time-gated intensified CCD. We demonstrate imaging of solvent viscosity variations through the ...
متن کاملFluorescence anisotropy imaging microscopy
We constructed an optical system and developed the software to create and analyze the fluorescence anisotropy images of a variety of objects including single molecules, quantum dots, proteins, nucleic acids and cells. The system includes an inverted microscope, three calcite prisms (CPs) inserted in the excitation and emission optical paths, and CCD camera. The system allows to record dynamic c...
متن کاملSimultaneous AFM/Fluorescence Imaging of Living Cells – Fluorescence-guided Force Spectroscopy Application Note
High resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be performed simultaneously with optical microscopy techniques, such as fluorescence or differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. The combined methodologies provide complementary information about the studied sample which establishes the basis for a better understanding of physiological processes and the function of biomolecules, and ...
