Growth cone configuration and advance: a time-lapse study using video-enhanced differential interference contrast microscopy.
We have analyzed the dynamics of growth cone configuration using video-enhanced contrast differential interference contrast microscopy. Regenerating neurites from NGF-treated PC12 cells and sympathetic neurons were observed in real time during their elongation and reviewed by time-lapse video recordings. This technique provided a high-resolution view of motile growth cone elements including fil...
متن کاملStages in axon formation: observations of growth of Aplysia axons in culture using video-enhanced contrast-differential interference contrast microscopy
The regenerative growth in culture of the axons of two giant identified neurons from the central nervous system of Aplysia californica was observed using video-enhanced contrast-differential interference contrast microscopy. This technique allowed the visualization in living cells of the membranous organelles of the growth cone. Elongation of axonal branches always occurred through the same seq...
متن کاملOn-chip differential interference contrast microscopy using lensless digital holography
We introduce the use of a birefringent crystal with lensless digital holography to create an on-chip differential interference contrast (DIC) microscope. Using an incoherent source with a large aperture, in-line holograms of micro-objects are created, which interact with a uniaxial crystal and an absorbing polarizer, encoding differential interference contrast information of the objects on the ...
متن کاملOrientation-independent differential interference contrast microscopy.
We describe a new technique for differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, which digitally generates phase gradient images independently of gradient orientation. To prove the principle we investigated specimens recorded at different orientations on a microscope equipped with a precision rotating stage and using regular DIC optics. The digitally generated images successfully displayed ...
متن کاملLinear phase imaging using differential interference contrast microscopy.
We propose an extension to Nomarski differential interference contrast microscopy that enables isotropic linear phase imaging. The method combines phase shifting, two directions of shear and Fourier-space integration using a modified spiral phase transform. We simulated the method using a phantom object with spatially varying amplitude and phase. Simulated results show good agreement between th...
