3D Tissue Imaging: From Fast Overview To High Resolution With One Click

3D Tissue imaging is a widespread discipline in the life sciences. Researchers use it to reveal detailed information of tissue composition and integrity, to make conclusions from experimental…

How To Perform Fast & Stable Multicolor Live-Cell Imaging

With the help of live-cell imaging researchers gain insights into dynamic processes of living cells up to whole organisms. This includes intracellular as well as intercellular activities. Protein or…

Image of a single slice taken from a zebrafish heart showing the ventricle with an injury in the lower area. Nuclei of all cells are indicated with blue, nuclei of the cardiomyocyte heart muscle cells with green, and the proliferating cells with red.

Imaging of Cardiac Tissue Regeneration in Zebrafish

Learn how to image cardiac tissue regeneration in zebrafish focusing on cell proliferation and response during recovery with Laura Peces-Barba Castaño from the Max Planck Institute.

How Does The Cytoskeleton Transport Molecules?

VIDEO ON DEMAND - See how 3D cysts derived from MDCK cells help scientists understand how proteins are transported and recycled in tissues and the role of the cytoskeleton in this transport.

Developing zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo, from sphere stage to somite stages.

Studying Early Phase Development of Zebrafish Embryos

This video on demand focuses on combining widefield and confocal imaging to study the early-stage development of zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio), from oocyte to multicellular stage.

Multi-Color Caspase 3/7 Assays with Mica

Caspases are involved in apoptosis and can be utilized to determine if cells are undergoing this programmed cell death pathway in so-called caspase assays. These assays can be run by e.g. flow…

U2OS cells stained with Hoechst for nuclei (blue), MitoTracker green (Mitochondria structure, green) and TMRE (active mitochondria, magenta) and SiR for tubulin (red). Simultaneous acquisition of four channel large area overview using Spiral scan feature using the 10x/1.20 CS2 Water MotCORR objective.

How To Get Multi Label Experiment Data With Full Spatiotemporal Correlation

This video on demand focuses on the special challenges of live cell experiments. Our hosts Lynne Turnbull and Oliver Schlicker use the example of studying the mitochondrial activity of live cells.…

Simplifying Complex Fluorescence Multiwell Plate Assays

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, occurs during organism embryo development to eliminate unwanted cells and during healing in adults to rid the body of damaged cells and help prevent cancer.…

Bildung von 3D-Sphäroiden aus 1000 MDCK-Zellen pro Vertiefung, wobei die Zellen stabil mit MX1 GFP (grün) transfiziert wurden. Zeitrafferaufnahmen über 72 Stunden mit einem Intervall von 30 Minuten. Grau ist der integrierte Modulationskontrast.

Effiziente Aufnahme von langen Zeitserien

Bei Experimenten mit Aufnahmen langer Zeitserien von Sphäroiden können sich bestimmte Herausforderungen ergeben. Da die Experimente mehrere Tage dauern können, muss die Probe möglichst lange am Leben…
