Marker, D. F., Tremblay, M., Lu, S., Majewska, A. K., Gelbard, H. A. A Thin-skull Window Technique for Chronic Two-photon In vivo Imaging of Murine Microglia in Models of Neuroinflammation. J. Vis. Exp. (43), e2059, doi:10.3791/2059 (2010).
选择感兴趣的领域,在皮质层I或II(高达150微米以下的软脑膜表面)。为了便于重新成像,采取相同的视野图片1X,2X,3X数码变焦。血管可作为地标,很容易地找到在随后的成像会话相同的视野。根据80-90变焦的3倍,多的Z -栈在每个堆栈和一个0.69微米的一步的Z轴的步骤可以收购每5分钟至30分钟,这使小胶质细胞的形态和行为随着时间的推移,抽样(图3)。 Z -栈之间的收购,应核实在TSCW生理盐水水平,以及动物的麻醉深度。
