Live Cell Imaging
All About Live Cell Imaging
• Study & understanding the structure, function, and behavior of living organisms, using evolving advances in technology, such as the development of imaging systems and fluorescent probes at the cellular and sub cellular levels .
E.g. Dynamic Fluorescence
Cell Motility Analysis
Automated Multiwell plate scanning for increased throughput
FRET analysis of molecular interaction
Mr. Wim van Egmond Rotterdam, The Netherlands Specimen: Living Volvox colony (green algae) Technique: Differential interference contrast, 100x Objective
All About Live Cell Imaging
• Traditionally we have been using biochemical and genetic approaches from in vitro reconstitution of cellular processes.
• However, these techniques only provide a static, snapshot view of cells.

All About Live Cell Imaging
• Being able to observe processes as they happen within the cell by light microscopy adds a vital extra dimension to our understanding of cell function.

All About Live Cell Imaging
Live cell imaging goes far beyond techniques:Widefield, confocal, deconvolution, 2-photon and fluorescent proteins.
• Molecular interactions.• Molecular control of cellular events.• Cell interactions (Tumor/T cell).• Rapid throughput, cellular assays.• Complex multi parametric questions.
Live Cell Imaging Systems
• When selecting which system to use for imaging living cells, one should consider …
– Sensitivity of detection required – Speed of acquisition– Viability of the specimen– System Integration: A live cell imaging system should
consist of components that ensure compatibility with each other – allowing you to focus on research and not on integration and system configuration
– Flexibility: flexibility should be available to take advantage of new technologies, hardware and experimental techniques
– Support: Availability of technical, applications, web support with a large worldwide user group.
Live Cell Imaging Systems
The collaboration provides systems for a wide range of live cell imaging experiments:
- High-speed acquisition of images over time (time lapse) - Ratio imaging - FRET - Fast deconvolution of image stacks - Multiple dimension acquisition (X, Y, Z, time, λ, scan area, stage position) - Cell motility - TIRFM, DSU, 3D Construction and Image Analysis

Example of Time Lapse GFP Imaging
Experiments could involve fluorescence imaging, study of morphology. It may extend over a period of time but experiment must not kill the specimens even with multiple exposures, thus:
– shuttered illumination
– sensitive detectors/cameras
– complex experiments involve computer control
– Image sets may be tens of gigabytes

Major Problems In Live Cell Imaging
– Photo toxicity and bleaching– Mechanical and thermal drifts– Temperature control– Culture media exchange– Stage and microscope
automation– Vibration interference
Major Problems Photo toxicity and bleaching
One major Limiting Factor in Live Cell imaging is the by product of Fluorescence causing photo toxicity.
– During the excitation of fluorescence molecules with the presence of oxygen two events occur:
Bleaching & Generation of free radicals
– These free radicals will kill the cells.
– Interaction of light with cells produces heat which will damage the cells.
All these effect could be minimized when individual images are well separated temporally.
Major Problems Limiting Photo toxicity
How can we prevent prolonged exposure of the cells to light?
Maximize the amount of light we collect ;
(1) Using High Numerical Aperture Optics
e.g. UPLSAPO 60XO with N.A.1.35
Do note that immersion optics usually leads to thermal drifts or other thermal related issues.
Things to consider : The length of the experiment, the frequency of image acquisition.
How can we prevent prolonged exposure of the cells to light?
Using high sensitivity & QE detectors;
(2) EvolutionTM QEi Super High Sensitivity FireWireTM Camera.
•A monochrome digital camera that offers high speed, low noise electronics for rapid image capture.
•Using 2/3” Sony ICX-285 progressive scan interline CCD
•Up to 35X Gain
Major Problems Limiting Photo toxicity
Major Problems Drift
Usually there are 2 main causes for drift:
(1) Thermal Drift
(2) Mechanical Drift
Mechanical Drift:
IX81 has IX-ZDC Focus drift compensation function for time-lapse experiments
Major Problems Drift
Most biologic properties must be recorded at 37oC, how can this be done and at the same time minimize the effects of thermal expansion and contraction on focus?

Capturing an image set containing multiple dimensions should be easy to setup. However, being able to view an image set along any one dimension is an important visualization tool.

FRET occurs -
If the emission spectrum of a “donor”molecule overlaps the excitation spectrumof an “acceptor” molecule, and the distancebetween these two molecules are within 10 to100 Å, then the excited donor molecule willtransfer energy non-radioactively (withoutemitting of photon) to the acceptor.
That is, when a double-labeled sample isexcited in the excitation range of the donor,emission can be read in the emission range ofthe acceptor.
