The spinning disk microscope used was a Marianas spinning disk imaging system with a Yokogawa CSU-W1 scanning unit on an inverted Zeiss Axio Observer Z1 microscope controlled by SlideBook 6 (Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Inc.). Objectives used were a ×20 (NA 0.8 air, Plan Apochromat, DIC) objective (Zeiss), a ×63 oil (NA 1.4 oil, Plan-Apochromat, M27 with DIC III Prism) objective (Zeiss), or a ×100 (NA 1.4 oil, Plan-Apochromat, M27) objective. Images were acquired using an Orca Flash 4 sCMOS camera (chip size 2048 × 2048; Hamamatsu Photonics).
The structured illumination microscope (SIM) used was DeltaVision OMX v4 (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) fitted with a ×60 Plan-Apochromat objective lens, 1.42 NA (immersion oil RI of 1.514), used in SIM illumination mode (five phases × three rotations). Emitted light was collected on a front illuminated pco.edge sCMOS (pixel size 6.5 μm, readout speed 95 MHz; PCO AG) controlled by SoftWorx.
