Example 14
All measurements were taken at ambient temperature (23±2° C.). Fluorescent molecules were prepared as stock solutions in DMSO and diluted such that the DMSO concentration did not exceed 1% v/v. Spectroscopy was performed using 1-cm path length quartz cuvettes (Starna). Absorption measurements were recorded on a Cary Model 100 spectrometer (Varian). Fluorescence measurements spectra were recorded on a Cary Eclipse fluorometer (Varian). Images were processed in ImageJ/Fiji. Data was analyzed and graphs were plotted using Prism (GraphPad). Movie renderings were done using Imaris (Bitplane)
