Optimal two-photon dual-color imaging using eGFP and . . . .?

Dear List,

We are imaging cortical neurons in a transgenic mouse embryo (eGFP expressing). We can express a second FP by electroporation and want to visualize both FPs at one excitation wavelength.

Any recommendations for another FP partner for eGFP? Possibly DsRed?  And what excitation wavelength is used to excite both FPs? Our Chameleon laser tunes 700 to 950nm, but without much energy at the longer wavelengths.

Thanks,

Eric

We use on our setup (Zeiss + MaïTaï) 840 or 930nm

No personal experience, but these links seem relevant:

Hi Eric, we have good results with 860nm for dual green/red, and would suggest GFP and mCherry.

Dear List,

Any recommendations for another FP partner for eGFP? Possibly DsRed?  And what excitation wavelength is used to excite both FPs? Our Chameleon laser tunes 700 to 950nm, but without much energy at the longer wavelengths.
