Trans-illumination – a Solution for Excitation of GFP Transfected Plants in Petri Dishes for In Vivo Imaging
18 Aug 2010: This application note shows that the excitation of GFP-transfected plants in Petri dishes filled with agar can be easily performed by Trans-illumination, with no reflection on the plastic material as it would happen with Epi-illumination. Background light intensities are in the range of 800-1000 RLU at 470 nm and 10% intensity setting of the transilluminator.

Use of Antibodies In Small Animal Molecular Imaging
18 Aug 2010: In vivo imaging enables the natural course of a disease or experimental model to be monitored. This application note discusses the use of fluorescently labeled primary antibodies for looking at protein expression in vivo imaging. The use of antibodies allows researchers to quickly determine if the test antibody begins to target undesired organs such as the kidneys or livers.
