The Power of STED Microscopy Part 3: Dual Color STED

The Power of STED Microscopy Part 3: Dual Color STED

By Kathryn Lagrue | July 1, 2015

So far in this series I have given you an overview of how STED works and how to design your STED experiments. In this final article, I will tell you how to do two color STED and go over some tips and tricks to acquire the best images from your sample. Dual Color STED Fluorophore…

Do you suspect that your favourite protein is doing something really cool? But you cannot see it because your confocal microscope’s resolution is limited. Then Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy is what you need! With the power to smash through the diffraction limit of confocal microscopy, STED opens up a whole new world of improved…
