Imaging Example
Imaging of Drosophila female reproductive system
Drosophila female reproductive system stained for F-actin (red) with Abberior STAR RED phalloidin. Abberior STAR ORANGE is highlighting a nuclear pore protein (gray).
The image was acquired with the STEDYCON tiling feature and assembled with the SVI Huygens Stitcher.
Four color confocal image of mammalian cultured cells
Four color confocal images of mammalian cultured cells. Peroxisomes were immunostained with Abberior STAR RED (magenta) and nuclear pore proteins with Abberior STAR 580 (green). F-actin fibers were highlighted with Abberior STAR 488phalloidin (gray).
The nucleus was visualized with DAPI (blue).
Three color STED and confocal image
Three color STED and confocal image of a mammalian cultured cell immunostained for a nuclear pore protein in green and two Golgi apparatus markers in red and blue.
Abberior STAR RED highlights the Golgi apparatus protein giantin (red) and Abberior STAR ORANGE visualizes the cis-Golgi protein GM130 (blue). NUP98 proteins were stained with Abberior STAR GREEN (green).
