在定位显微镜中,应用程序正在发展,其中成像的目标数量远远超过了可以分离的探针的数量。使用微流体的顺序标记可以解决更多的目标。
The Bruker microfluidics accessory is a unit designed to allow sequential labelling to be incorporated into localization microscopy protocols with theVutara VXLsingle-molecule localization microscope. The unit is controlled by Vutara'sSRX softwareand allows flexible configuration of fluidics sequences that are run in conjunction with imaging cycles to allow users to label an unlimited number of probes and image them in a sequential fashion.
The probe associated with each sequence has a specific color that is user-defined, and that is used as a color scale for visualization of experiments. During analysis with SRX, individual probes can be analyzed, or analysis can be carried out that compares probes.
Bruker微流体单元可与Vutara一起使用,以解决需要成像大量目标的任何定位显微镜应用。提供了15个探针小瓶,该系统允许在实验过程中互换探针小瓶,从而允许无限数量的目标。
Example localization microscopy applications:
The Bruker microfluidics unit is also compatible with theOpterraconfocal for serial labelling confocal applications.
