Leveraging Micro-CT Scanning to Analyze Parasitic Plant-Host Interactions

Micro-CT is a non-destructive tool that can analyze plant structures in three dimensions. The present protocol describes the sample preparation to leverage micro-CT to analyze parasitic plant structure and function. Different species are used to highlight the advantages of this method when coupled with specific preparations.

In vivo Imaging of Transgenic Leishmania Parasites in a Live Host

An in vivo imaging system is used to generate quantitative measurements of murine infection with the Trypanosomatid protozoan Leishmania. This is a non-invasive and non-lethal method for detecting parasites expressing luciferase within many tissues throughout the course of chronic Leishmania spp.

Highly Resolved Intravital Striped-illumination Microscopy of Germinal Centers

High-resolution intravital imaging with enhanced contrast up to 120 µm depth in lymph nodes of adult mice is achieved by spatially modulating the excitation pattern of a multi-focal two-photon microscope. In 100 µm depth we measured resolutions of 487 nm (lateral) and 551 nm (axial), thus circumventing scattering and diffraction...
