Mounting live cells onto microscope slides.
نویسنده
چکیده
This protocol describes the mounting of cells which have been grown on cleaned coverslips in cell culture dishes containing the appropriate medium and supplements. Labeling is performed with the coverslips placed in culture dishes. After cells are labeled, the coverslips can be mounted onto microscope slides to be viewed for short-term observation of live cells or longer-term observation of fixed cells. For viewing live cells for longer periods of time, specialized chambers should be used in which suitable growth conditions can be maintained.

LUCITE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CANADA BALSAM WHEN MOUNTING MICROSCOPE SLIDES' LUCITE2 is a crystal-clear methyl methacrylate polymere which has a refractive index nearly the same as glass and is readily soluble in dioxan. Dioxan3 has proven useful as a dehydrating agent for the preparation of sections and objects to be mounted for observation with the microscope. Thus with the Lucite in dioxan sol...

An image analysis program and protocol for the identification and enumeration of live versus dead cells of the yeast-like fungus Aureobasidium pullulans was developed for both populations on microscope slides and leaf surfaces. Live cells took up CellTracker Blue, while nonviable cells stained with DEAD Red. Image analysis macro programs running under Optimas software were used to acquire image...
متن کاملFormaldehyde fixation of Drosophila tissues onto slides for whole-mount FISH.
This protocol describes the formaldehyde fixation of Drosophila tissues other than egg chambers. It provides a general approach to fixing tissue or cells onto microscope slides in a manner compatible with whole-mount fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. The procedure includes a simple formaldehyde fixation in buffer, followed by postfixation in cold ethanol. Postfixation of the ti...
متن کاملDeposition of coatings from live yeast cells and large particles by "convective-sedimentation" assembly.
Convective assembly at high volume fraction was used for the rapid deposition of uniform, close-packed coatings of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells onto glass slides. A computational model was developed to calculate the thickness profiles of such coatings for different set of conditions. Both the experiments and the numerical simulations demonstrated that the deposition process is strongly ...
متن کاملLive-cell microarray surface coatings supporting reverse transduction by adeno-associated viruses.
High-throughput live-cell microarray technologies that facilitate combinatorial screening of genes and RNA interference (RNAi) would be invaluable in the identification of key gene expression profiles involved in complex cellular behaviors. Each spot on such a microarray can comprise a unique combination of genes or RNAi packaged into gene delivery vectors. Live target cells seeded on top of th...
