Automating Quantitative Confocal Microscopy Analysis
Quantitative confocal microscopy is a powerful analytical tool used to visualize the associations between cellular processes and anatomical structures. In our biological experiments, we use quantitative confocal microscopy to study the association of three cellular components: binding proteins, receptors, and organelles. We propose an automated method that will (1) reduce the time consuming eff...
متن کاملQuantitative Confocal Microscopy of Dense Colloidal Systems
This document describes an experimental investigation into dense collections of hard spherical particles just large enough to be studied using a light microscope. These particles display colloidal properties, but also some similarities with granular materials. We improve the quantitative analysis of confocal micrographs of dense colloidal systems, which allows us to show that methods from simul...
متن کاملQuantitative confocal microscopy: beyond a pretty picture.
Quantitative optical microscopy has become the norm, with the confocal laser-scanning microscope being the workhorse of many imaging laboratories. Generating quantitative data requires a greater emphasis on the accurate operation of the microscope itself, along with proper experimental design and adequate controls. The microscope, which is more accurately an imaging system, cannot be treated as...
متن کاملQuantitative single-molecule imaging by confocal laser scanning microscopy.
A new approach to quantitative single-molecule imaging by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is presented. It relies on fluorescence intensity distribution to analyze the molecular occurrence statistics captured by digital imaging and enables direct determination of the number of fluorescent molecules and their diffusion rates without resorting to temporal or spatial autocorrelation anal...
متن کاملQuantitative colocalization analysis of confocal fluorescence microscopy images.
Colocalization is an important finding in many cell biological studies. This unit describes a protocol for quantitative evaluation of images with colocalization based on the calculation of a number of specialized coefficients. First, images of double-stained sections are subjected to background correction. Then, various coefficients are calculated. Meanings of the coefficients and a guide to in...
