Project 2

Chromatin project

  • still imaging G08G06
  • sometime rather abruptly between 9a and 11a the 750 dyes completely stopped switching off.

Microscope stuff

  • Installing and aligning dual-view on STORM3
  • figured out how to exchange dichroic filter cubes
  • don’t have a proper cy3-cy5 dichroic
  • this dual view is beat-to-heck, the adjuster knobs are all crazy loose and have very little purchase.
  • ordered new cy3-cy5 cube from Semrock. Won’t pass 561 laser well, but should work excellently with 532.

STORM4

  • imaging Lib3 E04E05 jointly stained sample.
  • TIRF computer controller not working. Tuned by hand.
  • laser alignment looks much better, bright, nice flat field. Thanks Jeff & Hazen!
