Sensitized Emission FRET Measurements Using White-light TIRF Microscopy
This application note describes the acquisition of TIRF images using a broadband X-Cite® mercury light source without the cost of a laser and less photobleaching. This technique opens up advanced imaging to more researchers who want an affordable alternative that minimizes photobleaching associated with other technologies.
The Importance of a Stable Fluorescence Light Source in FRET Measurements
This application note reviews a few of the most relevant sources of error in FRET-based measurements and point out how having a stable and precisely controllable fluorescent light source, like that offered by the X-Cite® exacte, can help to reduce these complications by providing stable fluorescence illumination. The FRET ratios in HEK cells using two light sources with differing output stability are compared.
