VideoViability determination of HeLa cells using ReadyProbes Cell Viability Imaging Kit (Blue/Green) 
HeLa cells were loaded with NucBlue Live and NucGreen Dead (using 2 drops per ml) in complete media for 15 minutes at 37C. Staurosporine was then added to a final concentration of 1 µM and images were acquired every 30 min. for 18 hours using EVOS Auto Imaging System. All cells are stained with NucBlue Live, shown with blue nuclei. Over time an increase in the number of dead cells is observed as indicated by the appearance of green nuclei (NucGreen Dead).

VideoZ Stack image of HeLa cells labeled with CellLights reagents 
A series of images were captured on the EVOS FL Auto Cell Imaging System. Creating a Z-stack from these images allowed the observation of cellular cytoskeletal changes, which can be indicative of the loss of cell health. Methods HeLa cells grown in MatTek 6-well glass bottom culture plates were transduced with CellLights Tubulin-GFP and CellLight Mitochondria-RFP overnight at 37oC. The following day, NucBlue Live reagent (2 drops/mL) was added to the cultures. Cells were then imaged on an EVOS FL Auto Cell Imaging System with 100x oil immersion objective using the Z-stack function. The step size was set using the Nyquist formula and performed at 0.366 μm.

VideoMitochondrial dynamics through cell division 
U2OS cells were transduced with CellLight Mito-RFP and imaged every 5 minutes for 16 hours. Extensive mitochondrial motility is seen throughout mitosis and as the cell regains it's pre mitotic shape following mitosis.

WebinarIntroduction to basic cytoskeleton labeling and detection 
The cytoskeleton is a key component of mammalian cells, providing the framework for cell migration and intracellular transport, furthermore the cytoskeleton regulates cell size and shape as well as important processes such as mitosis and endocytosis. We offer a number of solutions for researchers using fluorescent probes to study the cytoskeleton. This webinar will provide an overview of the structures that comprise the cytoskeleton and important experimental parameters. The webinar also offers a comprehensive guide to available labeling and detection technologies for cytoskeletal research as well as tips and tricks on how to best use them. These tools include those for live-cell imaging fluorescent dyes, antibodies and the BacMam gene delivery platform.
