Source: Paolone, G., et al. Personalized Needles for Microinjections in the Rodent Brain. J. Vis. Exp. (2018).This video demonstrates a rodent brain microneedle injection using a quartz microneedle with holes. The microneedle is attached to a syringe and micropump to control the delivery rate. The needle with the injection solution is inserted into the brain with the delivery speed set at low. Once positioned, the delivery speed is increased. The needle is withdrawn after a brief pause.

Resorption Pit Assay: An In Vitro Technique to Quantify Calcium Resorption Activity of Mature Osteoclasts using Calcium Phosphate-Coated Culture Plates
0 Views •
2025
In this video, we describe an in vitro osteoclastic resorption assay on calcium phosphate-coated cell culture plates cultured with human peripheral blood mononuclear cell-derived osteoclasts. The osteoclasts form a characteristic actin ring on the calcium phosphate-coated matrix of the cell culture plate and degrade the matrix within the actin ring region to release calcium and phosphate ions, resulting in the formation of distinct resorption pits within the degraded matrix.
FAQs
Four variables are central: coating material, layer thickness, surface preparation, and deposition conditions. The material supplies the intended optical, electrical, chemical, or mechanical function, while thickness helps determine how strongly that function appears. Preparation and deposition influence whether the film forms an adherent, consistent interface. Controlling all four is therefore essential when engineering repeatable coated quartz plates.
Material selection sets the primary function of the surface. A coating may be chosen to tailor reflectivity or transparency for optical systems, provide electrical or chemical functionality for sensors and processing environments, or improve mechanical behavior and protection. The engineering choice should match the required interface behavior, while the quartz substrate retains its dimensional stability and thermal performance.
Surface preparation and deposition conditions govern how reliably the film attaches to quartz. A properly prepared surface supports formation of an adherent layer, while deposition conditions help determine the resulting film and its performance. These factors become especially important when a plate must deliver precise optical, electrical, chemical, or mechanical behavior rather than simply carry a superficial layer.
Layer thickness is a design variable, not merely a manufacturing detail. Because coating performance depends partly on thickness, changing it can alter the degree to which the surface exhibits its intended optical, electrical, chemical, or mechanical behavior. Engineers therefore specify thickness together with coating material and deposition conditions when seeking controlled, repeatable performance from the finished plate.
An engineering workflow begins by identifying the desired surface behavior, then selecting a coating material and target layer thickness. The quartz surface is prepared, and the film is deposited under defined conditions. The completed plate is then evaluated against the intended optical, electrical, chemical, or mechanical requirement. This sequence links design choices with interface performance.
They are relevant wherever a stable quartz substrate must provide controlled surface behavior. Examples include optical systems requiring tailored reflectivity or transparency, sensors needing surface functionality, semiconductor processing, and laboratory equipment that benefits from protection or chemical resistance. The coating lets engineers adjust the interface while preserving quartz’s dimensional stability and thermal performance.
The quartz substrate provides a dimensionally stable and thermally capable base for the functional film. This combination separates roles: the coating tailors the surface response, while quartz supports the plate’s underlying stability and thermal behavior. That arrangement is useful in precision engineering systems where optical, chemical, or other surface requirements must coexist with dependable substrate performance.
