9:45A -7:15P, 8:15P – 11:15 P

STORM

  • Finish O/N STORM of R2bxcB
  • set up STORM of R2bxcD
  • R2bxcD highly 405 responsive, low background, lots of switching (85K frames recording).
  • Up’d laser power 200 mW, running near 100%. Need to measure again.
  • Measured 40-45 mW at microscope backport appeture (at 60-80% AOTF, 200mW).

test RNA probes

  • no obvious dots
  • high cytoplasmic background, lower nuclear background (oposite of DNA probes)
  • bright foci stuck around cells, around nuclei
  • some potentional nuclear spots, quite weak
  • LOTs of probe stuck in bright foci (clusters?) on the coverglass.
  • very similar to my cell culture RNA in situs
  • Try next embryo wholemount DNA FISH with RNA probes.

Prep for project 2 meeting

Review

  • derive CoV equation for arbitrary N state matrix.
  • see notes.
  • relate to Bel 2009 derivation.

Ph project

  • cut losses re-image with better Ph-Flag label, track just Pc/Psc at Ph clusters.

cell culture

  • passage cells
