Confocal Laser Microscopy for VM Analysis with DAPI and Phalloidin Staining.

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is one of the most prevalent fluorescence microscopy techniques for assessing the progression of cancer cells in three-dimensional structures, such as vasculogenic mimicry (VM). We show a basic approach for using DAPI and phalloidin dyes to detect the early stages of progression and VM of melanoma tumor cells grown in a 3D environment, as well as demonstrating how to acquire images and improve them by changing the software acquisition parameters. © 2022.
