Immunohistochemistry using mouse retinal cryosections is a routine assay used in vision research. However, retinal tissues are fragile, and it is difficult to obtain an ideal retinal cryosection. Here, we developed a modified method for preparing retinal cryosection. Super Glue was applied on the surface of the sclera before the cornea and the lens are removed from either the unfixed or PFA-fixed mouse eyeballs. The new methods largely prevented retinal detachment in mouse retinal cryosections. Immunostaining of retinal cryosections derived from PFA-fixed mouse eyes using rod and cone markers yielded high-quality immunofluorescent images. Immunolabeling of retinal cryosections obtained from unfixed mouse eyes using a cilium-specific marker had improved orientations of photoreceptor connecting cilia. This new method substantially improves the morphology and immunostaining results of fixed and unfixed mouse eyes.

AbstractA novel ultra-low-thermal-budget pixel-to-point transfer process based on the excimer laser lift-off and Pd-In transient-liquid-phase bonding scheme was developed for flexible and precise placement of single pixels of GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LED) on target substrates. The transfer was accomplished by (1) temporarily bonding the light-emitting diode (LED) pixel to a specially designed pick-up rod with sapphire substrates facing up using Super Glue., (2) removing the sapphire substrates using laser lift-off, and (3) registering and permanently bonding the LED pixel to the designated area in the target substrates using Pd-In transient-liquid-phase bonding. An oxygen plasma was employed to remove the Super Glue® residue before further microfabrication and system integration was performed. The capability of this technique was demonstrated in the integration of GaN-based LED pixels with pre-fabricated PIN photodiode chips and thin-film bandedge filters, which formed the non-disposable subsystems of a fluorescence-based lab-on-a-chip system. The performance of these integrated LED pixels and the integrated microsystems has been assessed by evaluating the fluorescence intensity as a function of equivalent fluorescein dye concentration using disposable polydimenthyl siloxane(PDMS) microfluidic channels. GaN LEDs with peak emission at 463 nm were used to excite 515nm fluorescence from FluoSpheres® carboxylate-modified fluorescent microspheres (40nm in diamters).

The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of religious nationalism to protect vital national interests, maintain stability and preservation of core values. The expression of the constitution of Indonesia is a guarantor in integrating the people from all groups and strata of Indonesian society. It ensures a favorable internal and external condition. Religious nationalism is super glue that bonds the people, religions and the nation as a single entity. This is still utmost relevant in the pandemic.
