http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Jennifer, I like the search function of the Bio-Rad database, but the layout is not very intuitive. That's why I usually prefer the one from Invitrogen, even if the simple fluorophore list is horoble: http://probes.invitrogen.com/resources/spectraviewer/ But these one's are also nice: http://www.mcb.arizona.edu/ipc/fret/index.html http://www.bdbiosciences.com/spectra/ cheers, Michael Jennifer Waters wrote: > Search the CONFOCAL archive at > http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal > What is your favorite online program for graphing filter & fluorophore > spectra?

I use; in this order; http://probes.invitrogen.com/resources/spectraviewer/ http://www.bdbiosciences.com/spectra/ http://www.mcb.arizona.edu/IPC/spectra_page.htm I stand corrected regarding the
introduction of Coherent’s new GVD compensation equipment. I guess they DO think that the GVD problem
is worth addressing (or at least that they should address Spectra Physic’s
Deep See option). Coherent’s new instrument is the Chameleon PreComp,
Automated Dispersion for Chameleon Ti:Sapphire Lasers. They also have a new OPO device. No commercial interest. http://www.coherent.com/Lasers/index.cfm?fuseaction=show.page&ID=1557&loc=0 Brian D Armstrong PhD Light Microscopy Core Manager Beckman Research Institute City of 626-359-8111 x62872 From: Confocal

UA's Fluorescent Dye Spectra web site
http://www.mcb.arizona.edu/ipc/fret/index.html summarized
in Carl's and my article in Cytometry 2006
(
Link).
I admit to occasionally using Invitrogen's spectra viewer, and still find
of use their web list version
http://probes.invitrogen.com/servlets/spectra/ Our 2006 paper points
out, data are facts, and facts are not copyrightable (in the USA, at
least), so their statement "Molecular Probes will grant
copyright authorization for reproduction of these spectra in research
publications and for other non-commercial uses." is moot.
When I need more than a graph in a browser I launch Excel and do more graphing and number crunching as needed from the source data, which is available at PubSpectra http://home.earthlink.net/~pubspectra/ Index file for the whole dataset: McNamara_Boswell_000_2006_Index _Dyes_FPs_Filters_Lamps_Other_Spectra.xls 1314 Fluorescent dyes and fluorescent proteins spectra: McNamara_Boswell_Spectra_Dyes_FPs.zip 966 Filters spectra: McNamara_Boswell_Spectra_Filters .zip 99 Light sources and other spectra: McNamara_Boswell_Spectra_Lamps_other .zip Janos Szollosi and Horvath Gabor sent me an Excel FRET calculator, that I have modified slightly: http://home.earthlink.net/~fluorescentdyes/McNamara 20050709 FRET Janos Szollosi Horvath Gabor FRET calculator .xls Some day I will transfer all the data of each class into a single Excel 2007 "big grid" sheet and re-post it. Memo to Chroma, Omega, Semrock and other filter manufacturers: we are pretty close to an even 1000 filter spectra. If you've come up with any new filters in the past 2 years, please email them (or their web links) to me. Text files (zipped up) or Excel file, please. I'll deal with getting them into standard format. Anyone who has acquired accurate spectra of dyes - especially new dyes - I would love to have your data for addition to PubSpectra and UA (accurate means spectrophotometer, spectrofluorometer, or PARISS - you can post META and similar low resolution data on your own web site). Now that I am co-manager of a multiphoton fluorescence microscope, I would especially love to have multiphoton spectra. I have various graphs but would like data. If anyone enjoyed (or at least read) our 2006 Cytometry article, you may also find of interest: A Thousand Proteins of Light: 15 Years of Advances in Fluorescent Proteins G. McNamara and C.A.

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Dear all, this question is about the use of bi-directional scan mode with a Zeiss LSM 510. In one of our setups we use this mode to get the necessary fps with a 40x/1.2 W objective, 512x200, "zoom 4" and "scan speed 12". Unfortunately we cannot manage to fully correct the shift in X, which means that a shift of 1 pixel remains whatever you do. Scanner calibration (with 10x/0.45) also doesn't help. My question is: Does a tool exist with which I can correct for this shift afterwards? To my understanding this is quite simple - just shift every second line by x pixels to left or right. Leica has this feature implemented in their software, but this doesn't help much in case of Zeiss. Maybe somebody has a macro directly for the LSM software or a plugin for ImageJ? I would appreciate any input. Thanks! Michael |

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Dear Jens, sorry, I don't get it. In the LSM software (v4.2) one has a "Shift" function for color shift i.e. induced by lasers coupled over two fibers or misaligned pinholes. But I cannot shift every second line in a single channel - or am I overlooking something? Are you talking about the ZEN software? cheers, Michael > Search the CONFOCAL archive at > http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal > > Dear Michael, > > This function is available from the 'Process' menu of the LSM-software. > > regards, jens > > --- > Dr. Jens Rietdorf > Head Microscopy > Novartis Research Foundation > Friedrich-Miescher-Institute, wro1066.2.16 Maulbeerstr.66, CH-4058 > Basel, Switzerland > phone +41(61)69-75172 mobil +41 798284737 > Email:rietdorf(at)fmi.ch > > -----Original Message----- > From: Confocal Microscopy List [mailto:[hidden email]] On > Behalf Of Michael Weber > Sent: Mittwoch, 16.

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Hi, I think what you need are some tools to deal with old video camera images. Look into Deinterlace and Interlace functions in ImageJ, you should be able to separate out the odd and even lines, align them and remerge them or the module does all these together. Here is what I found with google: http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/plugins/de-interlace.html Alternatively, Metamorph has such tools if you do use it. I am not aware of any tools in Zeiss LSM software for such correction. What we found with our 510 (which is almost 10yrs old), was that, at high speed scanning, the scanner had significant deviations in 2 directions. So the odd/even images are distorted. The final images are not result of a uniform shifting which could be easily corrected. Good luck, Xue-jun Xue-jun Sun, Ph.D. Dept. Exp.

Dear Michael,
I do these kind of things in IDL as parts of an image analysis program package that I wrote gradually over the years. May be able to provide a specialised .SAV file that can be run w/o having an IDL license (but do need IDL Virtual Machine, which is free) if you'd like and if you specifiy what you need the program to do.
Best,
Zoltan
