We developed a miniaturized two-photon microscope (MINI2P) for fast, high-resolution, multiplane calcium imaging of over 1,000 neurons at time in freely moving mice. With weight below 3 g and highly flexible connection cable, MINI2P allowed stable with no impediment behavior variety assays compared to untethered, unimplanted animals. The improved cell yield was achieved through optical system design featuring an enlarged field view (FOV) microtunable lens increased z-scanning range speed...

The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) creates a map of local space, based on the firing patterns grid, head-direction (HD), border, and object-vector (OV) cells. How these cell types are organized anatomically is debated. In-depth analysis this question requires collection precise anatomical activity data across large populations neurons during unrestrained behavior, which neither electrophysiological nor previous imaging methods fully afford. Here, we examined topographic arrangement spatially...

Conventional 2D structured illumination microscopy (SIM) requires nine raw images to reconstruct a super-resolved image. In order increase the frame rate of SIM, attempts are being made reduce number SIM images. However, all proposed reconstruction algorithms (SIM-RA) capable reconstructing super-resolution (SR) image with reduced operate in spatial domain. Here, we present frequency domain SIM-RA based on ordinary least squares technique, which enables SR using four Unlike RA, produces...

Advances in light-sheet microscopy have enabled the fast three-dimensional (3D) imaging of live cells and bulk specimens with low photodamage phototoxicity. Combining illumination super-resolution is expected to resolve subcellular structures. Actually, such kind was recently demonstrated using a single-molecule localization algorithm. However, depth temporal resolution this method are limited owing requirements precise single molecule reconstruction. In work, we present two-photon via...

Total-internal-reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy provides high optical-sectioning capability and a good signal-contrast ratio for structures near the surfaces of cells. In recent years, several improvements have been developed, such as variable-angle TIRF (VA-TIRF) spinning (sp-TIRF), which permit quantitative image analysis address non-uniform scattering fringes, respectively. Here, we present dual-color DMD-based shadowless-illuminated (siva-TIRF) system that uniform illumination...

How pancreatic β-cells acquire function in vivo is a long-standing mystery due to the lack of technology visualize β-cell living animals. Here, we applied high-resolution two-photon light-sheet microscope for first imaging Ca2+activity every Tg (ins:Rcamp1.07) zebrafish. We reveal that heterogeneity functional development occurred as two waves propagating from islet mantle core, coordinated by vascularization. Increasing amounts glucose induced acquisition and enhancement via activating...

Visualizing the function of pancreatic β-cells in vivo has been a long-sought goal for β-cell researchers. Unlike imaging mammalian species with conventional positron emission tomography and single-photon computed tomography, which only provides limited spatial-temporal resolution, transparent zebrafish embryos are unique model that allows high-resolution fluorescent their native physiological microenvironment vivo. Here, we detail protocol real-time visualization individual non-invasive...
