Automated microbeam observation environment for biological analysis—Custom portable environmental control applied to a vertical microbeam system
Vertical Microbeams (VMB) are used to irradiate individual cells with low MeV energy ions. The irradiation of cells using VMBs requires cells to be removed from an incubator; this can cause physiological changes to cells because of the lower CO2 concentration, temperature and relative humidity outside of the incubator. Consequently, for experiments where cells require irradiation and observatio...
متن کاملOptofluidic cell manipulation for a biological microbeam.
This paper describes the fabrication and integration of light-induced dielectrophoresis for cellular manipulation in biological microbeams. An optoelectronic tweezers (OET) cellular manipulation platform was designed, fabricated, and tested at Columbia University's Radiological Research Accelerator Facility (RARAF). The platform involves a light induced dielectrophoretic surface and a microflui...
متن کاملMicrobeam-integrated multiphoton imaging system.
Multiphoton microscopy has been added to the array of imaging techniques at the endstation for the Microbeam II cell irradiator at Columbia University's Radiological Research Accelerator Facility (RARAF). This three-dimensional (3D), laser-scanning microscope functions through multiphoton excitation, providing an enhanced imaging routine during radiation experiments with tissuelike samples, suc...
متن کامل"Broadbeam" irradiation of mammalian cells using a vertical microbeam facility.
A "broadbeam" facility is demonstrated for the vertical microbeam at Surrey's Ion Beam Centre, validating the new technique used by Barazzuol et al. (Radiat Res 177:651-662, 2012). Here, droplets with a diameter of about 4 mm of 15,000 mammalian cells in suspension were pipetted onto defined locations on a 42-mm-diameter cell dish with each droplet individually irradiated in "broadbeam" mode wi...
متن کاملA Laser Microbeam Implemented at the Heavy-Ion Microbeam Facility
The heavy-ion microbeam is used for targeted irradiation of living cells (in culture) with ions from the UNILAC linear accelerator of GSI [1]. A custom-made epifluorescence microscope is available for beam targeting as well as for observation of proteins (tagged by fluorescent dyes) in sub-compartments of interest. In order to gain better insight into DNA damage repair processes, we intend to e...
