Abstract
Correlative Light Electron Microscopy (CLEM) is a powerful technique to investigate the ultrastructure of specific cells and organelles at sub-cellular resolution. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is particularly useful to the field of virology, given the small size of the virion, which is below the limit of detection by light microscopy. Furthermore, viral infection results in the rearrangement of host organelles to form spatially defined compartments that facilitate the replication of viruses. With the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), there has been great interest to study the viral replication complex using CLEM. In this chapter we provide an exemplary workflow describing the safe preparation and processing of cells grown on coverslips and infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Correlative Light Electron Microscopy (CLEM) encompasses a wide range of experimental approaches with different degrees of complexity and technical challenges where the attributes of both light and electron microscopy are combined in a single experiment. Although the biological question always determines what technology is the most appropriate, we generally set out to apply the simplest workflow possible. For 2D cell cultures expressing fluorescently tagged molecules, we report on a simple and very powerful CLEM approach by using gridded finder imaging dishes. We first determine the gross localization of the fluorescence using light microscopy and subsequently we retrace the origin/localization of the fluorescence by projecting it onto the ultrastructural reference space obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Here we describe this workflow and highlight some basic principles of the sample preparation for such a simple CLEM experiment. We will specifically focus on the steps following the resin embedding for TEM and the introduction of the sample in the electron microscope.

Abstract
In recent years new methodologies and workflow pipelines for acquiring correlated fluorescence microscopy and volume electron microscopy datasets have been extensively described and made accessible to users of different levels. Post-acquisition image processing, and particularly correlation of the optical and electron data in a single integrated three-dimensional framework can be key for extracting valuable information, especially when imaging large sample volumes such as whole cells or tissues. These tasks remain challenging and are often rate-limiting to most users. Here we provide a step-by-step guide to image processing and manual correlation using ImageJ and Amira software of a confocal microscopy stack and a focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) tomogram acquired using a correlative pipeline. These previously published datasets capture a highly transient invasion event by the bacterium Shigella flexneri infecting an epithelial cell grown in culture, and are made available here in their pre-processed form for readers who wish to gain hands-on experience in image processing and correlation using existing data. In this guide we describe a simple protocol for correlation based on internal sample features clearly visible by both fluorescence and electron microscopy, which is normally sufficient when correlating standard fluorescence microscopy stacks with FIB/SEM data. While the guide describes the treatment of specific datasets, it is applicable to a wide variety of samples and different microscopy approaches that require basic correlation and visualization of two or more datasets in a single integrated framework.

Real-Time Visualization and Quantification of Human Cytomegalovirus Replication in Living Cells Using the ANCHOR DNA Labeling Technology. J Virol 2018; 92:e00571-18.

Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) induces latent lifelong infections in all human populations. Between 30% and nearly 100% of individuals are affected depending on the geographic area and socioeconomic conditions. The biology of the virus is difficult to explore due to its extreme sophistication and the lack of a pertinent animal model. Here, we present the first application of the ANCHOR DNA labeling system to a herpesvirus, enabling real-time imaging and direct monitoring of HCMV infection and replication in living human cells. The ANCHOR system is composed of a protein (OR) that specifically binds to a short, nonrepetitive DNA target sequence (ANCH) and spreads onto neighboring sequences by protein oligomerization. When the OR protein is fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP), its accumulation results in a site-specific fluorescent focus. We created a recombinant ANCHOR-HCMV harboring an ANCH target sequence and the gene encoding the cognate OR-GFP fusion protein. Infection of permissive cells with ANCHOR-HCMV enables visualization of nearly the complete viral cycle until cell fragmentation and death. Quantitative analysis of infection kinetics and of viral DNA replication revealed cell-type-specific HCMV behavior and sensitivity to inhibitors. Our results show that the ANCHOR technology provides an efficient tool for the study of complex DNA viruses and a new, highly promising system for the development of innovative biotechnology applications.IMPORTANCE The ANCHOR technology is currently the most powerful tool to follow and quantify the replication of HCMV in living cells and to gain new insights into its biology. The technology is applicable to virtually any DNA virus or viruses presenting a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) phase, paving the way to imaging infection in various cell lines, or even in animal models, and opening fascinating fundamental and applied prospects. Associated with high-content automated microscopy, the technology permitted rapid, robust, and precise determination of ganciclovir 50% and 90% inhibitory concentrations (IC50 and IC90) on HCMV replication, with minimal hands-on time investment. To search for new antiviral activities, the experiment is easy to upgrade toward efficient and cost-effective screening of large chemical libraries. Simple infection of permissive cells with ANCHOR viruses in the presence of a compound of interest even provides a first estimation of the stage of the viral cycle the molecule is acting upon.

Abstract
Understanding how microbes utilize their environment is aided by visualizing them in their natural context at high resolution. Correlative imaging enables efficient targeting and identification of labelled viral and bacterial components by light microscopy combined with high resolution imaging by electron microscopy. Advances in genetic and bioorthogonal labelling, improved workflows for targeting and image correlation, and large-scale data collection are increasing the applicability of correlative imaging methods. Furthermore, developments in mass spectroscopy and soft X-ray imaging are expanding the correlative imaging modalities available. Investigating the structure and organization of microbes within their host by combined imaging methods provides important insights into mechanisms of infection and disease which cannot be obtained by other techniques.

Abstract
Previous work using focused ion beam (FIB) analysis of osteoblasts on smooth and microrough Ti surfaces showed that the average cell aspect ratio and distance from the surface are greater on the rough surface. In order to better interrogate the relationship between individual cells and their substrate using multiple imaging modalities, we developed a method that tracks the same cell across confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to correlate surface microroughness with cell morphology and cytoskeleton; scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to provide higher resolution for observation of nanoroughness as well as chemical mapping via energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy; and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for high-resolution imaging. FIB was used to prepare thin sections of the cell-material interface for TEM, or for three-dimensional electron tomography. Cells were cultured on laser-sintered Ti-6Al-4V substrates with polished or etched surfaces. Direct cell to surface attachments were observed across surfaces, though bridging across macroscale surface features occurred on rough substrates. Our results show that surface roughness, cell cytoskeleton and gross morphology can be correlated with the cell-material cross-sectional interface at the single cell level across multiple high-resolution imaging modalities. This work provides a platform method for further investigating mechanisms of the cell-material interface.

Abstract
While fluorescence microscopy provides tools for highly specific labeling and sensitive detection, its resolution limit and lack of general contrast has hindered studies of cellular structure and protein localization. Recent advances in correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM), including the fully integrated CLEM workflow instrument, the FEI CorrSight with MAPS, have allowed for a more reliable, reproducible, and quicker approach to correlate three-dimensional time-lapse confocal fluorescence data, with three-dimensional focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy data. Here we demonstrate the entire integrated CLEM workflow using fluorescently tagged MCF7 breast cancer cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Intestinal epithelial homeostasis is maintained by active-cycling and slow-cycling stem cells confined within an instructive crypt-based niche. Exquisite regulating of these stem cell populations along the proliferation-to-differentiation axis maintains a homeostatic balance to prevent hyperproliferation and cancer. Although recent studies focus on how secreted ligands from mesenchymal and epithelial populations regulate intestinal stem cells (ISCs), it remains unclear what role cell adhesion plays in shaping the regulatory niche. Previously we have shown that the cell adhesion molecule and cancer stem cell marker, CD166/ALCAM (activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule), is highly expressed by both active-cycling Lgr5+ ISCs and adjacent Paneth cells within the crypt base, supporting the hypothesis that CD166 functions to mediate ISC maintenance and signal coordination. METHODS Here we tested this hypothesis by analyzing a CD166-/- mouse combined with immunohistochemical, flow cytometry, gene expression, and enteroid culture. RESULTS We found that animals lacking CD166 expression harbored fewer active-cycling Lgr5+ ISCs. Homeostasis was maintained by expansion of the transit-amplifying compartment and not by slow-cycling Bmi1+ ISC stimulation. Loss of active-cycling ISCs was coupled with deregulated Paneth cell homeostasis, manifested as increased numbers of immature Paneth progenitors due to decreased terminal differentiation, linked to defective Wnt signaling. CD166-/- Paneth cells expressed reduced Wnt3 ligand expression and depleted nuclear β-catenin. CONCLUSIONS These data support a function for CD166 as an important cell adhesion molecule that shapes the signaling microenvironment by mediating ISC-niche cell interactions. Furthermore, loss of CD166 expression results in decreased ISC and Paneth cell homeostasis and an altered Wnt microenvironment.

Abstract
Intravital microscopy provides dynamic understanding of multiple cell biological processes, but its limited resolution has so far precluded structural analysis. Because it is difficult to capture rare and transient events, only a few attempts have been made to observe specific developmental and pathological processes in animal models using electron microscopy. The multimodal correlative approach that we propose here combines intravital microscopy, microscopic X-ray computed tomography and three-dimensional electron microscopy. It enables a rapid (c.a. 2 weeks) and accurate (<5 µm) correlation of functional imaging to ultrastructural analysis of single cells in a relevant context. We demonstrate the power of our approach by capturing single tumor cells in the vasculature of the cerebral cortex and in subcutaneous tumors, providing unique insights into metastatic events. Providing a significantly improved throughput, our workflow enables multiple sampling, a prerequisite for making correlative imaging a relevant tool to study cell biology in vivo. Owing to the versatility of this workflow, we envision broad applications in various fields of biological research, such as cancer or developmental biology. Highlighted Article: We provide here a novel correlative workflow combining intravital microscopy, microCT and 3D electron microscopy to reveal metastatic events in mouse brain and skin tissue at high resolution.
