Tetraspeck samples

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.

 

Sincerely,

 

Claire

Re: Tetraspeck samples

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.
