The FluoCells prepared slide #3 is ideal for demonstrating the optical sectioning properties of confocal microscopes. Each slide contains a 16 µm cryostat section of mouse kidney stained with Alexa Fluor 488 wheat germ agglutinin (W-11261), Alexa Fluor 568 phalloidin (A-12380) and DAPI (D-1306).
This TetraSpeck Fluorescent Microspheres Size Kit contains one microscope slide, with six viewing regions. Each of five viewing regions contains microspheres of one size – 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 or 4.0 µm. The remaining region contains a mixture of all five bead sizes.
The 0.1 µm TetraSpeck™ microspheres are stained throughout with four different fluorescent dyes, yielding beads that each display four well-separated excitation/emission peaks - 360/430 nm (blue), 505/515 nm (green), 560/580 nm (orange) and 660/680 nm (dark red).
The FocalCheck™ fluorescence microscope test slide #1 is specifically designed for calibrating fluorescence microscope systems and evaluating system and filter performance. The slide contains 10 sample areas coated with FocalCheck™ ring stained microspheres ranging in size from 0.
The TetraSpeck™ Fluorescent Microspheres Sampler Kit contains samples of the 0.1 µm, 0.5 µm, and 4.0 µm TetraSpeck™ beads. TetraSpeck™ beads are stained throughout with four different fluorescent dyes, yielding beads that each display four well-separated excitation/emission peaks - 360/430 nm...
The FocalCheck™ fluorescence microscope test slide #3 is specifically designed for calibrating fluorescence microscope systems and evaluating system and filter performance. This slide is useful for basic evaluation of filter performance and as a general practice slide for fluorescence microscopy and...
The 0.5 µm TetraSpeck™ microspheres are stained throughout with four different fluorescent dyes, yielding beads that each display four well-separated excitation/emission peaks - 360/430 nm (blue), 505/515 nm (green), 560/580 nm (orange) and 660/680 nm (dark red).
The FocalCheck™ fluorescence microscope test slide #2 is specifically designed for calibrating fluorescence microscope systems and evaluating system and filter performance. This slide provides a robust, reproducible method of evaluating the performance of spectral imaging systems, as well as the...
The 4.0 µm TetraSpeck™ microspheres are stained throughout with four different fluorescent dyes, yielding beads that each display four well-separated excitation/emission peaks - 360/430 nm (blue), 505/515 nm (green), 560/580 nm (orange) and 660/680 nm (dark red).
The MultiSpeck™ Multispectrual Fluorescence Microscopy Standards Kit provides an external reference for comparing images collected with different optics, on different instruments and in different laboratories, as well as for monitoring routine day-to-day variations in instrumental performance.
The Attofluor cell chamber is a durable and practical coverslip holder designed for viewing live cell specimens on upright or inverted microscopes. Because the chamber is constructed from surgical stainless steel and is autoclavable, cells can be grown directly on coverslips within the unit.
The FocalCheck Thin-Ring Fluorescent Microspheres Kit is specifically designed to help researchers examine the alignment, sensitivity and stability of confocal laser scanning microscopes. We have treated the microspheres in this kit with dyes to stain the surface of each bead, resulting in a...
The 6.0 µm InSpeck microspheres in this kit have diameters close to those of many stained cells, providing fluorescence microscopists with intensity references for generating calibration curves and evaluating instrument performance.
