Hello,
we have used fura-2 with single wavelength 2-P excitation here:
Simultaneous Measurements of Cytosolic and Mitochondrial Ca2+ Transients in HT29 Cells*
Sigrid Ricken, Jens Leipziger, Rainer Greger, and Roland Nitschke‡
THE JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY Vol. 273, No. 52, Issue of December 25, pp. 34961–34969, 1998

If you have access to a double 2-P system also excitation ratioing should be possible using app. 690 and 780 nm.

Regards

Roland

Hello, good afternoon.

 

- >From your experience, which are the best calcium dyes to be used in Multiphoton systems? Calcium green, perhaps?

 

- I supposed that excitation ratio dyes like Fura-2 are not recommended but has anybody used it with multiphoton excitation? Is it worthy?

 

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Regards,
