Images of fluorescent-tagged septins adsorbed onto curved supported bilayers on microspheres were acquired using a spinning disc (Yokogawa W1) confocal microscope (Nikon Ti-82 stage) using a 100× Plan Apo 1.49 NA oil lens and a Prime 95B CMOS camera (Photometrics). Images were analyzed using Imaris 8.1.2 software (Bitplane AG) as previously described (Bridges et al., 2016 (link); Cannon et al., 2019 (link)).
