We are interested in photodamage and want to reproduce the power levels, achieved in the tiny volume under a microscope objective, over a whole petri dish.
We hope to obtain sufficient material to undertake chemical analysis.
We are considering a lecture theatre projector and using uniform coloured images to produce some wavelength specificity.
Any experiences, suggestions or advice about would be appreciated, either on or off line.

I recently read an article in Nature Methods (Shaner et al. from R. Tsien lab) dealing with photostability of orange and red fluorescent proteins :
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18454154 They used a macrosopic illuminator to bleach whole Petri dishes of bacteria expressing the fluorescent proteins, I think you can get more details in the Material & Methods. Christophe

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal If you need a lot of power, you might want to consider OBB's KiloArc lamp (http://www.obb1.com/LightSources/KiloArc.html). Just something I have come across recently, no personal experience and no commercial interest.

Hello all, My colleague would like to construct Gaussian
curves for pixel intensities for individual cells in his acquired images. Do
you know if any software (e.g. Image J plug-ins) has such a feature? Thanks, Lily |

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal In ImageJ you can draw a line on your image and then plot the intensity profile along that line. The profile can then either be saved as image or exported as x,y pair into other software like, Igor Pro, Origin or even Excel. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Confocal Microscopy List namens Koo, Lily (NIH/NIAID) [F] Verzonden: vr 8/22/2008 9:06 Aan: [hidden email] Onderwerp: Intensity Gaussian Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Hello all, My colleague would like to construct Gaussian curves for pixel intensities for individual cells in his acquired images.

Lily,
ImageJ can fit a Gaussian curve with the Analyze > Tools > Curve fitting... command. Make sure you have the latest version (1.41j). When you run that function you can paste (Ctrl-v) the numbers you wish to fit into the space provided.
For example, to fit the frequency of intensities within a cell:
1. Outline the cell with some drawing tool.
2. Press Ctrl-h to display the histogram.
3. Click the "Copy" button in the histogram window to copy the values to the clipboard.
4. Run Analyze > Tools > Curve fitting...
5. Select "Gaussian"
6. Erase the default numbers and press Ctrl-v to paste the histogram numbers you previously copied to the clipboard.
7. Click the "Fit" button.
8. A window will appear with the curve fitting. You can save the curve coordinates as a text file with the "Save" button. You can also List the numbers to see them or you can Copy them to the clipboard.
I don't know if this is exactly what you need to do, but I hope at least the Curve Fitting function helps you in some way. Contact me off list if you have questions.
