Your time resolution is maybe too low – either recovering happened or sample
moved... Here are few options: zoom up/increase laser power and reduce
number of bleaching cycles, reduce image area and/or use higher frame rate.

Good luck!

Subject: GFP bleaching

Hi Listers,

I am trying some FRAP experiments on our Nikon C1 confocal. In particular, I
would neet to
bleach GFP on microtubules in mitotic cells. While bleaching in mounted
fixed samples
seems to work well, we have problems in life spls (using a heated chamber).
Any magic
touch we might be missing?

Thanks,

Michal
