Shown are two fluorescently-labelled neuronal proteins (red and green) differentially expressed in two neurons making ‘contacts’ to communicate with each other at the neurites (arms of the neuron).This Z-stack was captured on a Zeiss AxioImager and deconvolved and MIP rendered with Huygens Professional.

A mouse neuron primary cultured cell was fixed and stained with a mouse alpha-tubulin antibody (conjugated to Alexa 568) and Alexa488-phalloidin (F-actin). Microscopy: Nikon A1 confocal (20x Plan Apo VC; NA 0.75) dry. Deconvolution was done with Huygens Essential.

Primary hippocampal neuronal culture from P1 C56Bl/6H mice, grown on glass bottom dishes, imaged live in aqueous medium, expressing CMV-driven mCherry (red) and mouse diacylglycerol lipase (with pAcGFP, green) Images were recorded with 1,4 NA 60x oil immersion objective on a Nikon Ti-E inverted confocal microscope.

Huygens stitched tiles of widefield (Leica) fluorescent Leica LIF data. The data is shown with Huygens automatic vignetting and shading correction. Image represents a developing mouse cortex (P30) stained for Tbr1 and reelin.

Inhibitory terminals on rat spinal cord neuron. Image shows a pattern of Glycine receptor (red), Gephyrin (blue) and GABA(A) receptor (green) immunolabeling in lumbar L3 segment. Sections were examined with confocal microscopy (Zeiss 780 using 40x obj.), and deconvolved with Huygens Professional.

Image of DAPI (Red) and mab22C10 (Green) staining in larval brain of Drosophila melanogaster. The image was captured using Leica SP5II confocal microscope.

The image shows a Drosophila thorax captured with a Zeiss 880 confocal microscope and deconvolved using Huygens Essential. Respiratory tracheal branches are labeled in various colors using stochastic expression of spaghetti monster GFP with defferent epitope tags.

SuperResolution Images of Actin Cytoskeleton of NPC Disease. Image is taken with Leica STED Microscope with %100 775 STED depletion laser power and shows the reduced binding of the IgG-opsonized beads on actin cytoskeleton of NPC macrophages (stained with Aberrior 635 - Phalloidin).

Image of multi-focal amyloid plaque in the brain of a prion-infected mouse. The plaque was visualized by staining with the amyloid-binding fluorescent dye Thioflavin S. Image acquired by widefield epi-fluorescence microscopy, deconvolved with Huygens.

Huygens deconvolved and MIP rendered epifluorescence 3D data. Aquaporin 4 (red) shows individual astrocytic end-feet along a blood vessel in a mouse brain part. Thanks to deconvolution, GFAP (green) can be colocalized with AQ4 in small areas, but end-feet and arms of astrocytes can be separately identified.

Image of Drosophila brain taken with Zeiss Z1 Light Sheet microscope. The images was deconvolved and fused with the Huygens Software.
