Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

The Bessel beam stimulation source integrated into lattice light-sheet microscopy (LLSM) is an optical assay configuration that adds Bessel-beam-based optogenetic stimulation to LLSM without changing the microscope optical configuration. It enables three-dimensional photoactivation with improved spatiotemporal control and has been used to manipulate subcellular membrane ruffling and guide cell migration.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

This configuration is useful for optogenetic experiments that require spatially confined activation within cells while simultaneously performing volumetric imaging. Reported applications include subcellular activation of membrane ruffling at different intracellular locations and long-term guidance of cell migration during repeated volume acquisition.

Source:

membrane ruffling can be activated at different locations within a cell with subcellular resolution

Source:

We also demonstrate guided cell migration using optogenetic stimulation for up to 6 h, where 463 imaging volumes are collected, without noticeable damage to cells.

Problem solved

It addresses the problem of achieving precise optogenetic photoactivation inside the 3D imaging context of LLSM with high spatiotemporal control. The reported implementation specifically supports subcellularly resolved stimulation during live-cell observation of migration-related behaviors.
