Hello, All,
I'm asking for help on Zeiss ZEN software:
Can I get the information that what time an image is taken? I took a few files on one sample continually and I need to know the time interval between two images. I cannot find the information that when a frame was recorded by the microscope.
Thank you so much!
Zhangyi

Hi Mike,

I like using Carolina Observation Gel (http://www.carolina.com/product/life=
+science/microscope+slides/protist+slides/carolina+observation+gel.do, no c=
ommercial interest).=20

It is mouldable and non-toxic polydimethylsiloxane, which can be made into =
custom gaskets to seal slides (I cut them to shape with a needle). It allow=
s gas exchange, but minimises evaporation.

Best wishes,
George

Hi,
I don't know it can be funny but one scientist at JNU, India uses feviquick
to seal and he has validated that feviquick does not interfere in imaging
or viability.I myself have never done this.
