RAIN-STORM: Imaging the Molecular Architecture of Nervous System Tissue at the Nanoscopic Level
Nano-scale imaging of the molecular organization of the nervous system in tissue provides deeper insight into nervous system function.
This webinar focuses on the development of RAIN-STORM, a rapid and scalable imaging approach that enables 3D visualization of multiple subcellular targets at the nanoscopic level.
Explore a Cutting-Edge Technique for Visualizing Nervous System Function
Our guest speaker Melanie Samuel, Ph.D. (Assistant Professor, Baylor College of Medicine) discusses, in-depth, the development and use of RAIN-STORM. This innovative rapid and scalable imaging approach opens up new opportunities for research and discovery of nervous system function, enables nanoscopic visualization of multiple subcellular targets in three dimensions.
Summary
In this webinar, Dr. Samuel discusses:
- The development and use of RAIN-STORM for rapid and scalable 3D imaging of multiple subcellar targets;
- Detailed experimental findings*;
- The ability of the RAIN-STORM technique to image over 20 distinct targets of synapses, neurons, glia and the vasculature in a structurally-complex retina sample; and
- Best practices for RAIN-STORM sample preparation and labeling, as well as analysis protocols.
*The experiment showcased in this presentation uses the well-organized but structurally complex retina to illustrate the ability of RAIN-STORM for nanoscopic tissue imaging. This imaging process was compatible with a wide range of tissue sources, including clinically derived samples.
