Hege,
Here is my 2 cents. I have an SP5 with a Mai Tai
HP using NDD in complete dark. For intra-vital of blood vessels (mouse
foot) we typically get 300um, in live spinal core, 400-500 and brain, fix &
stained 300-400 depending. I do scan the excitation to determine the optimal
excitation wavelength for each flurophore. For some unknown, at least to
me, I have experienced differences in optimal excitation wavelength from system
to system. I complete agree with Guy on the other points.
Hope that this helps
Richard
