Epifluorescence and Confocal Microscopy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Conventional epifluorescence microscopy was performed with an inverted Nikon Ti-S microscope fitted with a 4 × 0.2 NA air objective lens (Nikon, Melvill, NY, USA), a 10 × 0.25 NA air objective lens (Nikon), or a 20 × 0.45 NA air objective lens (Nikon). Illumination was achieved using a four-channel light emitting diode (LED4D120, Thorlabs, Newton, NJ, USA) with a multiband filter set LF405/488/532/635-A-000, Semrock, Rochester, NY, USA) and images were captured using a Zyla 5.5 sCMOS camera (Andor, Windsor, CT, USA). Confocal microscopy was performed on a Leica SP5 inverted confocal point scanning microscope at the UW Biology Imaging Core using a 10 × 0.4 NA air objective lens (Leica, Nussloch, Germany), 20 × 0.7 NA air objective (Leica), and a 63 × 1.2 NA water immersion objective (Leica).

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.
