Optical micromanipulation of nanoparticles and cells inside living zebrafish
Regulation of biological processes is often based on physical interactions between cells and their microenvironment. To unravel how and where interactions occur, micromanipulation methods can be used that offer high-precision control over the duration, position and magnitude of interactions. However, lacking an in vivo system, micromanipulation has generally been done with cells in vitro, which...
متن کاملSupramolecular Self-Assembly Inside Living Mammalian Cells
Driven by directional interparticle interactions, e.g., hydrophobic patchy, pi-pi, dipolar, and hydrogen bonding interactions, certain small molecules self-assemble in aqueous solution to form nanofibers (or other nanostructures) and consequently result in hydrogels. Because of their inherent advantages such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and morphological resemblance of extracellular m...
متن کاملReconstructing Thin 3D Structures from Optical Blur Using Optical Sectioning Microscopy
Modeling the electrical properties of neurons (e.g. as a distributed transmission line) requires extensive knowledge of dendritic spatial organization and trajectories in three dimensions (3D). Confocal microscopy provides sharp contrast for 3D histological examination and is a high resolution means for reconstructing biological micro-scale structures. However, confocal microscopy is very expen...
متن کاملOptical sectioning deep inside live embryos by selective plane illumination microscopy.
Large, living biological specimens present challenges to existing optical imaging techniques because of their absorptive and scattering properties. We developed selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) to generate multidimensional images of samples up to a few millimeters in size. The system combines two-dimensional illumination with orthogonal camera-based detection to achieve high-resol...
متن کاملQuantifying Force and Viscoelasticity Inside Living Cells Using an Active-Passive Calibrated Optical Trap.
As described in the previous chapters, optical tweezers have become a tool of precision for in vitro single-molecule investigations, where the single molecule of interest most often is studied in purified form in an experimental assay with a well-controlled fluidic environment. A well-controlled fluidic environment implies that the physical properties of the liquid, most notably the viscosity, ...
