Breakthrough Technologies An Optical Clearing Technique for Plant Tissues Allowing Deep Imaging and Compatible with Fluorescence Microscopy1[W][OPEN]
We report on a nondestructive clearing technique that enhances transmission of light through specimens from diverse plant species, opening unique opportunities for microscope-enabled plant research. After clearing, plant organs and thick tissue sections are amenable to deep imaging. The clearing method is compatible with immunocytochemistry techniques and can be used in concert with common fluo...
متن کاملImaging carious dental tissues with multiphoton fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy
In this study, multiphoton excitation was utilized to image normal and carious dental tissues noninvasively. Unique structures in dental tissues were identified using the available multimodality (second harmonic, autofluorescence, and fluorescence lifetime analysis) without labeling. The collagen in dentin exhibits a strong second harmonic response. Both dentin and enamel emit strong autofluore...
متن کاملClearSee: a rapid optical clearing reagent for whole-plant fluorescence imaging
Imaging techniques for visualizing and analyzing precise morphology and gene expression patterns are essential for understanding biological processes during development in all organisms. With the aid of chemical screening, we developed a clearing method using chemical solutions, termed ClearSee, for deep imaging of morphology and gene expression in plant tissues. ClearSee rapidly diminishes chl...
متن کاملAn improved technique for clearing and staining plant tissues for detection of nematodes.
Numerous procedures have been used to stain and clear nematode-infected plant tissues (7). Staining with acid fuchsin and destaining with lactophenol (4,7) has been the most widely used technique. More rap id means, of clearing and staining roots include autoclaving (1), exposure to saturated chloral hydrate (6), and root macera t ion after staining (3). However, extreme care is required for th...
متن کاملImaging without fluorescence: nonlinear optical microscopy for quantitative cellular imaging.
Quantitative single-cell analysis enables the characterization of cellular systems with a level of detail that cannot be achieved with ensemble measurement. In this Feature we explore quantitative cellular imaging applications with nonlinear microscopy techniques. We first offer an introductory tutorial on nonlinear optical processes and then survey a range of techniques that have proven to be ...
