Article Title: A transferrin receptor targeting dual-modal MR/NIR fluorescent imaging probe for glioblastoma diagnosis

doi: 10.1093/rb/rbae015

Figure Lengend Snippet: NIR fluorescence imaging demonstrates that the cellular uptake of D THR-Cy7-PEG-DSPE-SPIONs probes (untreated D THR) is slightly higher than that of the pretreated D THR-Cy7-PEG-DSPE-SPIONs probes (treated D THR) by U87-MG cells; scale bars: 25 µ m.

Article Snippet: Cell labeling efficiency and intracellular distribution of D THR-Cy7-PEG-DSPE-SPIONs were respectively assessed using flow cytometry (BD FACSCelestaTM) and NIR fluorescence imaging microscopy (Carl Zeiss, Axio Observer A1).

Techniques: Fluorescence, Imaging

Article Title: Material heterogeneity of male genitalia reduces genital damage in a bushcricket during sperm removal behaviour

doi: 10.1007/s00114-020-01706-w

Figure Lengend Snippet: Confocal laser scanning microscopic images of the subgenital plate ( a , c ) and genital chamber ( b , d ) in Metaplastes ornatus and Poecilimon veluchianus veluchianus . ( a , c ) The ventral view. ( b , d ) The genital chamber was opened, and its orientation is shown as the schemes. Each image was taken with different settings so that we cannot directly compare the colour among them, but rather compare variation in material composition within each image. The reddish stripe in the image ( c ) is a wound, and the intensities of the lasers were adjusted by ignoring any signals from the wound

Article Snippet: Subsequently, we visualised autofluorescence using a Zeiss LSM 700 confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) (Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH, Jena, Germany) equipped with four stable solid-state lasers with wavelengths of 405 nm, 488 nm, 555 nm and 639 nm.
