Quantifying Cytoskeleton Dynamics Using Differential Dynamic Microscopy

4.1K
Differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) combines features of dynamic light scattering and microscopy. Here, the process of using DDM to characterize reconstituted cytoskeleton networks by quantifying the subdiffusive and caged dynamics of particles in vimentin networks and the ballistic motion of active myosin-driven actin-microtubule composites is presented.

Confocal Microscopy to Measure Three Modes of Fusion Pore Dynamics in Adrenal Chromaffin Cells

2.6K
This protocol describes a confocal imaging technique to detect three fusion modes in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. These fusion modes include 1) close-fusion (also called kiss-and-run), involving fusion pore opening and closure, 2) stay-fusion, involving fusion pore opening and maintaining the opened pore, and 3) shrink-fusion, involving fused vesicle shrinkage.

Area of Science:

  • Soft matter physics
  • Interfacial science
  • Fluid dynamics

Background:

  • Fluid interfaces are naturally roughened by thermally excited capillary waves.
  • Studying these waves requires methods sensitive to relevant time and length scales.
  • Colloid-polymer systems offer a tunable platform for observing liquid-gas phase separation and interfacial phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the dynamics of capillary waves at fluid interfaces.
  • To demonstrate the applicability of differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) to interfacial dynamics.
  • To measure capillary wave velocities in a colloid-polymer system.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized bright-field optical microscopy.
  • Employed a novel extension of differential dynamic microscopy (DDM).
  • Analyzed image series to extract decay times of interfacial fluctuations across a range of wavevectors (0.1 to 1 μm-1).

Main Results:

  • Successfully measured capillary wave velocities, finding values around 0.1 μm s-1.
  • Observed that capillary velocities varied with sample composition as expected.
  • Results were consistent with existing literature values for similar systems.

Conclusions:

  • Differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) is a powerful technique for studying interfacial dynamics.
  • The study provides quantitative measurements of capillary wave behavior in a model soft matter system.
  • This work opens new avenues for exploring interfacial phenomena using DDM.
