I am doing this as we speak, and find that a final dilution somewhere
between 1/100 and 1/1000 is good, depending on how long I want to
search for the perfect bead and the field of view. They seem to be
much less concentrated than normal fluorescent beads.

I’m making some tetraspeck bead samples and also
some
calibration bead samples. I was wondering if anyone has worked out an
ideal
dilution for PSF imaging so that there is a good density of beads to
ensure
single beads but lots in a single field of view. I have worked out
conditions
for the Invitrogen single coloured 0.1 um beads I could share in return.
