embryo sections

some sections lie nice and flat, others get substantial ripples. Is this knife compression? too large a section in x-y? (seems to correlate). Too thick a section? (seems also to be true in my experience).

Z-calibration part 2

Curves fit the following polynomial: $latex w_x=\sqrt{w_{x0} \sqrt{B_xX^4+A_xX^3+X^2+1}}$ where $latex X= (z-g_x)/(z_{rx})$ In general we will require $latex gx$ to be negative $latex gy$ to be positive. $latex Ax$ and $latex Bx$ are correction factors and should be small. See … Continue reading

issues with non-blinking weak spots

The very bright, round foci clearly do not correspond to objects in the conventional image and are probably all artificats from non-switching foci. These dots start off at moderate single molecule brightness (can’t eliminate them just using higher threshold cutoff … Continue reading
