Confocal and two-photon microscopy has been widely used in bone research to not only produce high quality, three-dimensional images but also to provide valuable structural and quantitative information. In this article, we describe step-by-step protocols for confocal and two-photon microscopy to investigate earlier cellular events during colonisation of cancer cells in bone using xenograft mouse models. This includes confocal/two-photon microscopy imaging of paraformaldehyde fixed thick bone sections and frozen bone samples.
共聚焦显微镜和双光子显微镜已广泛应用于骨研究,不仅能生成高质量的三维图像,还能提供有价值的结构和定量信息。在本文中,我们描述了使用异种移植小鼠模型,通过共聚焦显微镜和双光子显微镜研究癌细胞在骨中定植过程中早期细胞事件的分步方案。这包括对多聚甲醛固定的厚骨切片和冷冻骨样本进行共聚焦/双光子显微镜成像。
