What about my specific excitation line? For fluorophores with an excitation peak at for example 510, use the closest available light source: 475 nm |

Use overview image to pick interesting regions Using "Test Images", and marking regions, right-click and "use as background for well" for a visual aid for selecting further regions. |
Run the experiment:
- Evaluate that the correct assay is loaded.
- Name the plate and add keywords.
- → Start! And observe live-preview images during acquisition (when enabled)
- Select the whole plate, right-click, organise images in "realistic" (corresponding to the plate) or "packed" (best for display) layoutsinfo:

Flat-field correction The software can do flat-field correction based on acquired images, provided that foreground/background and areas without cells are present. This also works in wells filled with tissue, or more-than-confluent cell cultures. |
- When done: open the lid (settings - Operetta CLS - open) and remove plate/slide holder.
Image processing and analysis:
Image Added
Loose info pieces:
Operetta CLS: zZ-steps always > 100 nm
Fluorescent staining strategy,:
To facilitate auto-detection in subsequent image analysis steps:
...
c) stain nuclei separately
Computer attached to the microscope:
DO NOT SWITCH OFF!
The PC is running a live image data and image analysis server.
