Live imaging of neural structure and function by fibred fluorescence microscopy.
Only a few methods permit researchers to study selected regions of the central and peripheral nervous systems with a spatial and time resolution sufficient to image the function of neural structures. Usually, these methods cannot analyse deep-brain regions and a high-resolution method, which could repeatedly probe dynamic processes in any region of the central and peripheral nervous systems, is...

anatomical and physiological substrates. This necessitates a mapping of the organization and interconnection of populations of neurons, but must also include an intimate understanding of the physiological workings of the individual neural elements, both neurons and glia, since neural function ultimately depends on the organization of synaptic connections at the cellular and subcellular levels (...
متن کاملLive-cell Imaging Using Fluorescence Microscopy
The ever increasing abundance of different fluorescent proteins and vital dyes that are available to researchers today make it possible to study a large variety of dynamic biological processes in live-cells [1, 2]. Many proteins of interest can be studied by expressing fluorescent fusion proteins in cells, either transiently by transfection or viral infection or permanently using transgenic ani...
متن کاملEnhanced live cell imaging via photonic crystal enhanced fluorescence microscopy.
We demonstrate photonic crystal enhanced fluorescence (PCEF) microscopy as a surface-specific fluorescence imaging technique to study the adhesion of live cells by visualizing variations in cell-substrate gap distance. This approach utilizes a photonic crystal surface incorporated into a standard microscope slide as the substrate for cell adhesion, and a microscope integrated with a custom illu...
متن کاملFull-field supercritical angle fluorescence microscopy for live cell imaging.
We introduce a full-field fluorescence imaging technique with axial confinement of about 100 nm at the sample/substrate interface. Contrary to standard surface imaging techniques, this confinement is obtained through emission filtering. This technique is based on supercritical emission selectivity. It can be implemented on any epifluorescence microscope with a commercial high numerical aperture...
