Caenorhabditis elegans actively crawls down thermal gradients until it reaches the temperature of its prior cultivation, exhibiting what is called cryophilic movement. Implicit in the worm's performance of cryophilic movement is the ability to detect thermal gradients, and implicit in regulating the performance of cryophilic movement is the ability to compare the current temperature of its surroundings with a stored memory of its cultivation temperature. Several lines of evidence link the AFD sensory neuron to thermotactic behavior, but its precise role is unclear. A current model contends that AFD is part of a thermophilic mechanism for biasing the worm's movement up gradients that counterbalances the cryophilic mechanism for biasing its movement down gradients.

Caenorhabditis elegans activamente se arrastra hacia abajo de gradientes t&eacute;rmicos hasta alcanzar la temperatura de su cultivo previo, exponiendo lo que se llama movimiento cryophilic. La habilidad de detectar gradientes t&eacute;rmicos est&aacute; impl&iacute;cita en el rendimiento del gusano del movimiento cryophilic, y la posibilidad de comparar la temperatura actual de su entorno con un almacenados en la memoria de su temperatura de cultivo est&aacute; impl&iacute;cita en la regulaci&oacute;n de la actuaci&oacute;n del movimiento cryophilic. Varias l&iacute;neas de evidencia enlace la neurona sensorial de la AFD al comportamiento thermotactic, pero su funci&oacute;n exacta es incierta.

Multichannel (multicolor) imaging has become a powerful technique in biology research for performing in vivo neuronal calcium imaging, colocalization of fluorescent labels, non-invasive pH measurement, and other procedures. We describe a novel add-on approach for simultaneous multichannel optical microscopy based on simple wedge prisms. Our device requires no alignment and is simple, robust, user-friendly, and less expensive than current commercial instruments based on switchable filters or dual-view strategies. Point spread function measurements and simulations in Zemax indicate a reduction in resolution in the direction orthogonal to the wedge interface and in the axial direction, without introducing aberration. These effects depend on the objective utilized and are most significant near the periphery of the field of view. We tested a two-channel device on C. elegans neurons in vivo and demonstrated comparable signals to a conventional dual-view instrument. We also tested a four-channel device on fixed chick embryo Brainbow samples and identified individual neurons by their spectra without extensive image postprocessing. Therefore, we believe that this technology has the potential for broad use in microscopy.

Laser microsurgery is a powerful tool for neurobiology, used to ablate cells and sever neurites in-vivo. We compare a relatively new laser source to two well-established designs. Rare-earth-doped mode-locked fibre lasers that produce high power pulses recently gained popularity for industrial uses. Such systems are manufactured to high standards of robustness and low maintenance requirements typical of solid-state lasers. We demonstrate that an Ytterbium-doped fibre femtosecond laser is comparable in precision to a Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser (1-2 micrometres), but with added operational reliability. Due to the lower pulse energy required to ablate, it is more precise than a solid-state nanosecond laser. Due to reduced scattering of near infrared light, it can lesion deeper (more than 100 micrometres) in tissue. These advantages are not specific to the model system ablated for our demonstration, namely neurites in the nematode C. elegans, but are applicable to other systems and transparent tissue where a precise micron-resolution dissection is required.

Ytterbium-doped fibre femtosecond laser offers robust operation with deep and precise microsurgery of C. elegans neurons.

Confocal microscopes can reject out-of-focus and scattered light; however, widefield microscopes are far more common in biological laboratories due to their accessibility and lower cost. We report confocal imaging capacity on a widefield microscope by adding a spatial light modulator (SLM) and utilizing custom illumination and acquisition methods. We discuss our illumination strategy and compare several procedures for postprocessing the acquired image data. We assessed the performance of this system for rejecting out-of-focus light by comparing images taken at 1.4 NA using our widefield microscope, our SLM-enhanced setup, and a commercial confocal microscope. The optical sectioning capability, assessed on thin fluorescent film, was 0.85 ± 0.04 μm for our SLM-enhanced setup and 0.68 ± 0.04 μm for a confocal microscope, while a widefield microscope exhibited no sectioning capability. We demonstrate our setup by imaging the same set of neurons in C. elegans on widefield, SLM, and confocal microscopes. SLM enhancement greatly reduces background from the cell body, allowing visualization of dim fibers nearby. Our SLM-enhanced setup identified 96% of the dim neuronal fibers seen in confocal images while a widefield microscope only identified 50% of the same fibers. Our microscope add-on represents a very simple (2-component) and inexpensive (<$600) approach to enable widefield microscopes to optically section thick samples.

Femtosecond lasers are capable of precise ablation that produces surgical dissections in vivo. The transverse and axial resolutions of the laser damage inside the bulk are important parameters of ablation. The transverse resolution is routinely quantified; but the axial resolution is more difficult to measure and is less commonly performed. Using a 1040-nm, 400-fs pulsed laser, and a 1.4-NA objective, we performed ablation inside agarose and glass, producing clear, and persistent damage spots. Near the ablation threshold of both media, we found that the axial resolution is similar to the transverse resolution. We also ablated neuron cell bodies and fibers in Caenorhabditis elegans and demonstrate submicrometer resolution in both the transverse and axial directions, consistent with our results in agarose and glass. Using simple yet rigorous methods, we define the resolution of laser ablation in transparent media along all directions.

Despite its profound impact on biology, high-resolution  microscopy largely remains low throughput because current immobilization techniques require substantial manual effort. We implement a simple cooling approach to immobilize entire populations of the nematode  directly on their cultivation plates. Counterintuitively, warmer temperatures immobilize animals much more effectively than the colder temperatures of prior studies and enable clear submicron-resolution fluorescence imaging, which is challenging under most immobilization techniques. We demonstrate 64× z-stack and time-lapse imaging of neurons in adults and embryos without motion blur. Compared to standard azide immobilization, cooling immobilization reduces the animal preparation and recovery time by >98%, significantly increasing experimental speed. High-throughput imaging of a fluorescent proxy in cooled animals and direct laser axotomy indicate that the transcription factor CREB underlies lesion conditioning. By obviating individual animal manipulation, our approach could empower automated imaging of large populations within standard experimental setups and workflows.
