Imaging mode: DICM Visualization methods: Spinning disc confocal DICM & widefield DICM Using a Nikon TiE microscope equipped with a 40x, 0.95 N.A. objective and a Hamamatsu ORCA-Flash 4.0 V3 Digital CMOS camera, or a Nikon TiE spinning-disc confocal microscope equipped with a Yokogawa CSU-X1 scanning unit, an Andor iXon 888 EMCCD camera, and a 60x, 1.3 N.A. water-immersion objective or a 40x, 0.95 N.A. objective ... : We show in this study that brain and intestinal stem cells of Drosophila contain a new type of cytoplasmic protrusion which is enriched in mitochondria and that the mitochondria are probably dependent on microtubules for their distribution. The protrusions form mitochondria-enriched cytoplasmic bridges from the stem cells to their niche that we speculate are important in regulating stem cell quiescence and activation. ...
