Hello,

We are looking for an antifading which would be effective with a far-red
dye, for instance AF647 or Cy5, for SIM experiments (with Elyra system
from Zeiss).
We have already tested FMG and PBS + glycerol but they were ineffective.

Thanks for your help.

We've had great success with DABCO antifade in TDE mounting media.  See
protocol here:

The refractive index match (mounting medium/coverslip/oil) greatly improves
the achievable resolution and reduces processing artifacts.
