Abstract
Mitosis is one of the most fundamental processes of life, allowing organisms to grow, develop, and evolve. Acquiring microscopic images and understanding the detailed mechanism of this process is critical in the fields of cell and developmental biology. Modern fluorescence microscopy is the standard for imaging specific molecules and proteins as they interact during this complicated process. However, researchers must take care to ensure that they are maintaining the basal cell processes during mitosis without disruption by placing the sample on a microscope. In addition, mitosis in itself is an incredibly dynamic process that requires both high-speed and high-resolution imaging (McIntosh and Hays. Biology. 5:55, 2016). The Lattice LightSheet is an advanced system, developed in the lab of Eric Betzig (Chen et al. Science. 346:1257998), that offers imaging speeds in the volumes/second while still resolving fine, intracellular structures. Here we describe how to prepare cell culture samples for ideal mitotic imaging on this cutting-edge light sheet fluorescence microscope.
