13 Contents Environment Physical integrity Attachment Temperature Gases (CO 2, O 2,H 2 O), ph. Osmolarity Illumination Autluorescence Phodamage Microscopy image processing techniques deconvolution Live cell microscopes (Time lapse sequence analysis)
14 Jens Jens Rietdorf: Rietdorf: Autluorescence Autluorescence may may have have different different reasons, reasons, but but is is generally generally stronger, stronger, shorter shorter wavelength wavelength higher higher intensity intensity excitation excitation light light is. is. Stressed Stressed or or damaged damaged specimen specimen show show AF. AF. Autluorescence Specific sources autluorescence (excitation): Aromatic amino acid residues (UV). Reduced pyridine nucleotides (UV). Flavins (UV, blue). Chitin (broad). Chlorophyll (blue, green). General sources autluorescence: Dead cells (broad). Lipuscin (UV, blue). Cures: Long wavelength (also lower energy) light.[except 2-Phon] Avoid stress.
15 Phodamage Illumination energy not converted in emitted light (typ. <1%) or heat can enforce chemical reactions.
16 Recognise damaged cells Cells detach. Blebs form. Michondria swell. Cells do not make it through misis. Necrosis, Apopsis
17 Jens Jens Rietdorf: Rietdorf: Different Different microscopy microscopy techniques techniques will will be be discussed discussed which which very very light light efficient efficient avoid avoid phodamage phodamage discussed discussed in in following following Avoid phodamage Use decent dyes. Optimise illumination detection: Filtersets Detecrs Resolution (xy,z,t,intensity value, channels) Make use image processing ( deconvolution ). Add antioxidants (Trolox, ascorbic acid 2mg/ml) Use appropriate microscope techniques.
18 Contents Environment Physical integrity Attachment Temperature Gases (CO 2, O 2,H 2 O), ph. Osmolarity Illumination Autluorescence Phodamage Microscopy image processing techniques deconvolution Live cell microscopes (Time lapse sequence analysis)
19 Wide-field microscopy + deconvolution -Use a priori knowledge improve image quality -deconvolution is possible for all image dimensions : Along optical axis, time-lapse, color
20 Jens Jens Rietdorf: Rietdorf: Deconvolution Deconvolution can can increase increase signal--noise signal--noise ratio ratio reby reby allows allows reduction reduction excitation excitation light. light. Always Always use use deconvolution deconvolution before before estimating estimating how how much much light light has has be be put put in in sample sample reveal reveal relevant relevant information. information. deconvolution
