Hi JP,

         I have used an FV1000 in the past to image live cells and larvae for 12-24 hours with no bleaching/phototoxicity.This was done with laser power setting in the <10% range using a multi ion argon laser and a 405nm solid state laser.

 

 Can you supply some more information?

 

-          Which lasers do you have on your machine (Argpn Ion, Solid state etc.)?

-          How long are you imaging for

-          What is the sample?

-          What media are you using

 

 

Cheers

 

 

Cam

Hi,

I had my first experience  today with this system for live cell imaging and all my cells under the laser didn't make it safely (the one around were just fine).

So I'm curious to know if some of you used a fluoview 1000 for live cell imaging of hoechst or Fm4-64? If yes, what kind of range of power and aquisition repetition (z stack and repetition) did your cells take ? (I did a stack of 16 images in z every 2 minutes so around 1minute of imaging and 1 minute of resting)

Thanks,

JP
