I recently downloaded instruview.

this makes use of the database found here
http://turmac13.chem.columbia.edu/fretview/test.dal

This can be imported and other fluorophores
added

Good luck with the search

The Invitrogen spectra-viewer has superseded the Bio-Rad spectra viewer after Zeiss killed off Bio-Rad [UK]:

 

http://www.invitrogen.com/site/us/en/home/support/Research-Tools/Fluorescence-SpectraViewer.reg.uk.html

 

It makes no comment on copyright, so probably an acknowledgement will suffice, particularly within PowerPoint presentations. You do have to know the analogues for some things, e.g DsRed. To copy image info use the keyboard PrintScreen button and paste into Photoshop to edit out what you need.

The Bio-Rad viewer is now reborn as the Zeiss Spectral Viewer

https://www.micro-shop.zeiss.com/us/us_en/spektral.php?cp_sid=&f=db
and it has DsRed

Also check out the flow cytometry site for their specific fluorescence surface type markers.

Subject: fluorophore data?

 

Hello,
I've been looking around for emission & absorption spectras for all common fluorophores but the data seems rather spread out. does anyone know of a compilation that legally could be included in an open source program?

on a related note, can measured data be copyrighted?

thanks
/Johan


Sorry misread your question, missed the open source bit.

So are we supposed to organise a whip-round?

Course Description:


For Whom:
Designed primarily for research scientists, physicians, postdoctoral trainees
and advanced graduate students in animal, plant, medical and material sciences.
Non-biologists seeking a comprehensive introduction to microscopy and digital
imaging will benefit greatly from this course as well. There are no specific prerequisites,
but an understanding of the basic principles of optics and imaging experience is desirable.
Limited to 25 students.

The nine day course consists of lectures, hands-on laboratory exercises, problem sets,
laboratory demonstrations and discussions that will enable the participant to obtain and
interpret microscope images of high quality, to perform quantitative optical
measurements, and to produce digital records for documentation and analysis.
For some structured exercises, students, as small groups, will acquire, analyze,
interpret and present imaging data, thereby demonstrating their progress toward
mastering microscopic/imaging skills.

Live and fixed specimens will be provided for use in laboratory exercises and
demonstrations.

HOWEVER, STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO BRING THEIR OWN BIOLOGICAL (PRIMARY
CULTURES, CELL LINES, PREPARED SLIDES, ETC.) AND MATERIAL SPECIMENS AND TO
USE THEM THROUGHOUT THE COURSE FOR EXERCISES, WHERE APPROPRIATE.
STUDENTS ALSO ARE ENCOURAGED TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS WITH OUR EXPERIENCED
COMMERCIAL FACULTY TO EXAMINE THEIR CELLS OUTSIDE OF SCHEDULED CLASSES
USING THE STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE TO THEM. Cell culture facilities
are available for student use. Students are highly encouraged to discuss their
individual research problems with the academic and commercial faculty.

Topics to be covered include:

Principles of microscope design and image formation

Bright field, dark field, phase contrast, polarized light, differential interference contrast,
interference reflection, and fluorescence microscopy

Digital imaging, recording, enhancement, processing and analysis

Advanced fluorescent techniques (eg. FRAP, FLIP, FRET, FLIM, fluorescence polarization,
multi-spectral and ratiometric imaging)

Confocal scanning microscopy, multiphoton excitation fluorescence microscopy and
structured illumination systems

Image deconvolution, digital image restoration and 3-D reconstruction

3D image acquisition, display, and analysis

Live cell imaging

Laser microdissection and microcapture of tissues/cells for molecular biology.

Super-resolution techniques (4PI, STED, PALM, etc.)

Applications to live cells will be emphasized; other specimens will be covered as well.

Students will have direct hands-on experience with state-of-the-art microscopes,
digital cameras, photometers, and image acquisition/processing/analysis
software provided by major optical, electronics, and software companies. Instruction
will be provided by experienced staff from universities and industry.

Hi all,

 

I’m new to this program and was wondering if there is any book on MetaMorph that I can look at as a reference.  Thanks.

Hi Roland,
 
I do not know of any books, but there are regular training courses ran my Molecular Devices. See http://www.moleculardevices.com/pages/MM-new/meta_training.html for dates etc. I have been told these are very good courses, i have not been to one myself as I am in Australia and they don't run them here (yet?).
 
Also the MetaMorph website has a good collection of support articles in their knoledge base (see http://support.meta.moleculardevices.com/search.php)
 
There is also a big user base. If you get stuck just as a question here (or you can contact me directly) and you will get the help you need.
 
I will make the obligatory statement: I ahave no comericial interest in Molecular Device, i am just a very satisified customer.
 
 
Cheers
