Patching four cells under visual control Scientifica 2021-10-26 | The left-hand side shows the Dodt contrast image; the right side shows the simultaneous two-photon excited fluorescence. Initially, the pipettes are positioned above the slice. They are then sequentially brought into position in front of the respective target cell and a seal formed, working from the deepest to the shallowest cell. There are several things to take particular note of. First, changes to the pressure applied to the pipette tip can be seen as changes in the dye streaming out of the respective tip. Next, dimple formation can be observed in both images for each pipette, but it is most pronounced for the third cell. Finally, the break-in to achieve whole-cell configuration is marked by the target cell beginning to fill with dye.

Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging – Another Dimension in Multiphoton Imaging Scientifica 2021-08-09 | On 7th July, Dr. Christian Wilms, Research & Development Manager, Scientifica, gave a talk at the Imperial Neurotechnology 2021 – Centre for Neurotech Annual Research Symposium.Talk AbstractCommonly, fluorescence microscopy uses the colour and intensity of fluorescence to generate images. A third parameter of fluorescence is less commonly used in imaging: the excited state lifetime of a fluorescent molecule (aka the fluorescence lifetime). Similar to colour, the fluorescence lifetime is an absolute value which is not influenced by properties of the measurement system or by local concentrations of the fluorescent dye. As a result, fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) can provide quantitative insights into the physiology of live cells. In combination with two-photon excitation, it becomes a powerful tool for the quantitative study of cellular signalling in deep tissue. In this talk we provide an introduction to FLIM, including the required instrumentation as well as introducing some example data to demonstrate versatility and potential of the technology for neuroscience researchers.
