Fluorescence imaging was carried out on an inverted microscope (Nikon Instruments, Eclipse Ti) with the Perfect Focus System, applying an objective-type TIRF configuration with an oil-immersion objective (Nikon Instruments, Apo SR TIRF ×100, numerical aperture 1.49, Oil). A 561 nm (200 mW, Coherent Sapphire) laser was used for excitation. The laser beam was passed through cleanup filters (Chroma Technology, ZET561/10) and coupled into the microscope objective using a beam splitter (Chroma Technology, ZT561rdc). Fluorescence light was spectrally filtered with an emission filter (Chroma Technology, ET600/50m, and ET575lp) and imaged on a sCMOS camera (Andor, Zyla 4.2 Plus) without further magnification, resulting in an effective pixel size of 130 nm (after 2 × 2 binning).

System, by applying an objective-type total internal reflection fluorescence
(TIRF) configuration with an oil-immersion objective (Nikon Instruments,

pixel size of 130 nm after 2 × 2 binning. Camera readout sensitivity
was set to 16-bit, and readout bandwidth to 540 MHz. Imaging parameters

The samples were measured on inverted total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopes (Nikon Instruments, Eclipse Ti2) which are equipped with an oil-immersion objective (Nikon Instruments, Apo SR TIRF ×100/numerical aperture 1.49, oil) and a perfect focusing system. The mRuby3 signal was bleached by the 560 nm laser (MPB Communications, 1 W) by using Highly inclined and laminated optical sheet (HILO) illumination. Afterwards, the TIRF mode was established. The Cy3B imagers were excited with the 560 nm laser. The laser beam was cleaned with a filter (Chroma Technology, no. ZET561/10) and coupled into the microscope with a beam splitter (Chroma Technology, no. ZT561rdc). The fluorescent signal was filtered with an emission filter (Chroma Technology, nos. ET600/50m and ET575lp) and projected onto a sCMOS camera (Hamamatsu, ORCA-Fusion BT) without further magnification.
The acquired region of interest has a size of 576 × 576 pixels. The resulting effective pixel size is 130 nm. The raw microscopy data was acquired via μManager.

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.
