1. TetraSpeck™ Fluorescent Microspheres Size Kit *mounted on slide*

SKU# T14792

Price (USD) 219.00 Unit/Size 1 kit 

Description:

This TetraSpeck Fluorescent Microspheres Size Kit contains one microscope slide, with six viewing regions. Each of five viewing regions contains microspheres of one size ? 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 or 4.0 μm. The remaining region contains a mixture of all five bead sizes. Every microsphere is stained with four different fluorescent dyes [365?430 nm (blue), 505?515 nm (green), 560?580 nm (orange), and 660?680 nm (dark red)] that have well-separated excitation and emission peaks. Invitrogen’s TetraSpeck™ fluorescent microspheres aid in the calibration of wide field, TIRF and confocal fluorescence microscopes,especially for multicolor applications like co-localization analysis and the derivation of point spread functions critical for deconvolution.

  

2. TetraSpeck™ Fluorescent Microspheres Sampler Kit

SKU# T-7284

Price (USD) 168.00 Unit/Size 1 kit

Description:

The TetraSpeck™ Fluorescent Microspheres Sampler Kit contains samples of the 0.1 μm, 0.5 μm, and 4.0 μm TetraSpeck™ beads. TetraSpeck™ beads are stained throughout with four different fluorescent dyes, yielding beads that each display four well-separated excitation/emission peaks ? 360/430 nm (blue), 505/515 nm (green), 560/580 nm (orange) and 660/680 nm (dark red). These microspheres can greatly facilitate the calibration of conventional fluorescence microscopes, confocal laser scanning microscopes, and associated image-processing equipment for both scientific and commercial imaging, especially for multicolor applications.

 

3. PS-Speck™ Microscope Point Source Kit *blue, green, orange and deep red fluorescent beads*

SKU# P-7220
