This study investigates axonal transport defects in Drosophila models of Alzheimer’s disease using advanced nanometer resolution detection techniques. Employing fluorescence imaging and multi-peak fitting, we analyze brain segmental nerves to identify and quantify transport abnormalities. The system verification involved the use of fluorescent beads, allowing precise trajectory recovery of APP-YFP vesicles. Our findings utilize a Nikon Eclipse TE2000-U inverted microscope with a 100×/1.40 NA oil objective, supported by a LabVIEW-controlled piezo stage for enhanced pattern recognition and analysis.
