Dm filter cube

Manufactured by IDEX Corporation

The 488/561DM filter cube is a key component in fluorescence microscopy systems. It serves as a dichroic mirror that reflects light of specific wavelengths while allowing others to pass through. This filter cube is designed to work with 488nm and 561nm laser excitation sources, making it suitable for a variety of fluorescent labeling techniques.

TIRF Microscopy for Fluorescence Imaging

TIRF microscopy was performed as previously described (Sochacki et al., 2012 (link); Larson et al., 2014 (link)). Briefly, an inverted fluorescence microscope (IX-81; Olympus, Center Valley, PA) with a 100×/1.45 numerical aperture objective (Olympus) was used for TIRF imaging. Fluorescence was excited alternatively with 488- or 561-nm laser lines that were combined and passed through a 488/561DM filter cube (Semrock, Rochester, NY). Emission was spectrally separated using a 565DCXR dichroic mirror and projected side by side on an electron-multiplying charge-coupled device camera (DU 897; Andor, Belfast, UK) with a DualView image splitter (Photometrics, Tucson, AZ) containing 525Q/50 and 605Q/55 filters. The green and red images were superimposed in postprocessing by acquiring an image of 100-nm yellow-green beads (Invitrogen) that were visible in both channels, mapping the position of six beads in both channels, and then superimposing the channels using projective image transform. This protocol was performed each day before experimental images were recorded. Bead imaging was also used to confirm the uniformity and quality of the TIRF illumination field before each experiment.
Images were acquired with IQ2 software (Andor) successively in the green and then the red channels with an exposure time of 500 ms and a 500-ms pause between pairs of images. Pixel size was 160 nm.

TIRF Microscopy for Superimposed Imaging

TIRF microscopy was performed as previously described (Trexler et al., 2016 (link)). Briefly, an inverted fluorescence microscope (IX-81; Olympus) with a 100×/1.45-numerical-aperture objective (Olympus) was used for TIRF imaging. Fluorescence was excited alternatively with 488-nm or 561-nm laser lines that were combined and passed through a 488/561DM filter cube (Semrock). Emission was spectrally separated using a 565DCXR dichroic mirror and projected side by side on an electron multiplying charge-coupled device electron multiplying charge-coupled devicecamera (DU 897; Andor) with a DualView image splitter (Photometrics) containing 525Q/50 and 605Q/55 filters.

This protocol was performed each day, and the image transform was used to superimpose cell images. Images were acquired with IQ2 software (Andor) successively in the green then red channels with an exposure time of 500 ms and a 500-ms pause between pairs of images. Pixel size was 160 nm.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
