Has anyone used Konica Minolta fluorescent nanoparticles with cells or
tissue sections ... and if yes, can they share the results (or cite
publication)?

I came across this through a new press release (for some reason dated
2015),

http://www.konicaminolta.com/about/releases/2016/0606_01_01.html

on joint research agreement between Konica Minolta, Institut Pasteur,
and BioAxial (which I found that the Super-Resolution Microscopy
(Nanoscopy) group discussion).

I recently blogged on linkedin on an alternative family of fluorophores,

I note here that at a BD seminar last week the BD folks emphasized the
importance of using their Brilliant Staining Buffer (a tube comes in
every Brilliant antibody order). And yes, I've used BV421 successfully -
very bright on widefield (standard DAPI cube, would be even better with
optimized filter set), and does enable imaging on a confocal microscope.

thanks in advance,

George
