We describe a microfluidic device designed specifically for the reversible immobilisation of (Fission Yeast) cells to facilitate live cell super-resolution microscopy. Photo-Activation Localisation Microscopy (PALM) is used to create detailed super-resolution images within living cells with a modal accuracy of >25 nm in the lateral dimensions. The novel flow design captures and holds cells in a well-defined array with minimal effect on the normal growth kinetics. Cells are held over several hours and can continue to grow and divide within the device during fluorescence imaging.
我们描述了一种专门设计用于可逆固定(裂殖酵母)细胞的微流控装置,以促进活细胞超分辨率显微镜检查。光激活定位显微镜(PALM)用于在活细胞内创建详细的超分辨率图像,横向尺寸的模态精度>25 nm。这种新颖的流动设计将细胞捕获并保持在定义明确的阵列中,对正常生长动力学的影响最小。细胞可被保持数小时,并且在荧光成像期间能够在装置内继续生长和分裂。
