Abstract
We present a protocol for the biosensor Cell-Fit-HD4D. It enables long-term monitoring and correlation of single-cell fate with subcellular-deposited energy of ionizing radiation. Cell fate tracking using widefield time-lapse microscopy is uncoupled in time from confocal ion track imaging. Registration of both image acquisition steps allows precise ion track assignment to cells and correlation with cellular readouts.
For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Niklas et al. (2022).
