Microscope troubleshooting

  • might be able to try 2-color imaging in STORM5 with George E and shutters.
  • doesn’t work. No emission filter to block 405
  • 2 color conventional images of my stains look great though.
  • trying to image on STORM4
  • issues with quadview – 561 channel not working

Writing

  • revise draft of Ph-manuscript and send replies to Nicole and Ajaz

RNAi experiments

  • Day 4 for KD. Lyse cells, perform RNA extraction.
    • collected 7 tubes of cells, concentrated in spins
    • just froze cells in lyses buffer at -80C. Will continue these when I have time.
  • fix some cells for imaging backup
    • prep cover slips
    • plate cells, allow 3 hours to attach
    • fixed 4 coverslips of Ph KD and 4 coverslips of mock.
    • these may be necessary for continuing the multicolor experiments

Live imaging

    • sample don’t look promising
    • snapped some images, saved on STORM4, need to copy over for update meeting
