Visualizing Macrophage Extracellular Traps Using Confocal Microscopy

Extracellular Traps Is a Silent Process Macrophage Clearance of Neutrophil

Visualizing cell-to-cell transfer of HIV using fluorescent clones of HIV and live confocal microscopy.

By fusing the green fluorescent protein to their favorite proteins, biologists now have the ability to study living complex cellular processes using fluorescence video microscopy. To track the movements of the human immunodeficiency virus core protein during cell-to-cell transmission of human immunodeficiency virus, we have GFP-tagged the Gag protein in the context of an infectious molecular cl...

Confocal Microscopy

A confocal microscope creates sharp images of a specimen that would otherwise appear blurred when viewed with a conventional microscope. This is achieved by excluding most of the light from the specimen that is not from the microscope’s focal plane. The image has less haze and better contrast than that of a conventional microscope and represents a thin cross-section of the specimen. Thus, apart...

Confocal microscopy

The confocal microscope, based on the principle of confocal imaging, is a recently introduced and invaluable tool for high-resolution fluorescence microscopy. It has gained popularity in the scientific and industrial communities since its inception. Although the application of confocal microscopes in dentistry started as early as 1994, the practical usage of this device in our country is just g...

Aorta Fluorescence Imaging by Using Confocal Microscopy

The activated leukocyte attacked the vascular endothelium and the associated increase in VEcadherin number was observed in experiments. The confocal microscopic system with a prism-based wavelength filter was used for multiwavelength fluorescence measurement. Multiwavelength fluorescence imaging based on the VEcadherin within the aorta segment of a rat was achieved. The confocal microscopic sys...
