Article Snippet: Description of data collection , For evaluation of in vitro labeling capacity of Di-8-ANEPPQ, primary cultures of NG neurons and cardiomyocytes were stained with 20 µM Di-8-ANEPPQ at RT. After incubation, live images of cultured cells were taken using spinning disk confocal microscopy (Zeiss). The excitation and emission properties of the Di-8-ANEPPQ was obtained using the power spectrum module of confocal microscopy (LSM 780, Zeiss). The images of the in vivo heart operation were captured using the stereomicroscope (Discovery 8, Zeiss). The Di-8-ANEPPQ, in 1 µl containing 10 mg/ml, was injected into the apex of the heart. Following 2-3 hrs of the surgery, the heart was dissected out and the injection area was imaged using confocal microscopy (LSM 780, Zeiss). All images were analyzed and prepared using Fiji software..
