Multi-time multi location experiment. CHO H2b-GFP transfected cells. 12 different locations. Image made every 10 minutes. 6 optical planes. Argon laser, ouput power 50% (6.1A). AOTF 0.5%. Total time 14h, 2.5 GB of data.  Gert van Cappellen

  Demonstration of the flexibility of the time lapse macro. At one location 2 different scans in time. Low zoom scan every 15 min. Part in the red square zoomed in and scanned every 3 min. Original scans 512x512, 4 planes 10/50 time points, max. projection. For demonstration purpose the laser power was high to bleach the cells in the selected area. In the zoomed in area you see a dividing cell. The cells were kindly provided by Jeroen Essers and were transfected by Evert-Jan Uringa.
