a.   The Bruker TruLive3D is a dual sided illumination light sheet microscope. The dual light sheet is projected on the sample by a pair of water immersion 10X 0.3NA microscope objectives. The detection objective is a water immersion 25X 1.1NA objective. An ad...

This page will help you select which filter combination you need for most commonly used fluorophores on the Bruker TruLive3D. The Bruker TruLive3D light sheet microscope has two imaging cameras with two motorized filter wheels and two sets of filters. It is...

Once the microscope, cameras and temperature controller and gas mixer are on it is time to open the LuxBundle software. Find the Luxendo logo on the taskbar and click on it. If you are using the temperature controller the water bath in the chamber wil...

Calibration of the laser beams is critical for optimal imaging and should be done prior to every experiment. If you are using the temperature controller you should wait that the temperature in the sample chamber is close to the set value to perform the cali...

This page will guide through the steps to set-up a basic experiment. 1. Setting up an experiment You have many possibilities to set-up an experiment with the Bruker TruLive3D. You can record a single z-stack at several time points, multiple z-stacks at sev...

Data acquired on the Bruker TrLive3D will typically be very large, on the order of TeraBytes of data. The Luxendo computer has enough internal capacity to store up to ~20TB of data. This seems like a lot of storage but we are asking the users to transfer the...

The Bruker TruLive3D has a photo-manipulation (PM) feature that you can use to ablate specific areas of your sample. Calibration of the PM module Before performing any kind of photo-manipulation, the PM module needs to be calibrated.  Click on the Calibra...

After your session, you should backup your data from the Opera Phenix. There are two main file formats for you to export your data: 1) as a TIFF series for analysis using MATLAB, ImageJ/Fiji, other programs, or 2) as an Archive file (compatible with Harmony on...

Basics of laser scanning confocal A laser scanning confocal microscope produces high resolution images of 3D samples of up to 15 microns. It operates using pinholes on the laser beam path, blocking the out of focus light from the specimen. Images are acquired...

This microscope offers several capabilities, it has two light sources and one camera. In addition to the laser system, you can use the X-cite LED in widefield mode. The camera installed is an EMCCD iXon 888 with 13 µm pixels in a 1024 x 1024 format. Micro...

When you are done imaging, remove your sample from the microscope and place it on a kimwipe or other paper towel if it has oil or water. If you used an oil objective, please refer to the instructions of Dr. Dragavon to clean it:  Shut down the system accor...

Getting the system ready If the microscope is off, turn on the microscope following the protocol taped to the wall: A.    Turn on the Laser Power Strip #1. a.    Turn on the appropriate laser boxes by turning the key to the ON position. Then press...

Microscope Controls To control the microscope stage, you will use the joystick. The central knob controls the X and Y directions, you can change the speed by twisting the top of it.  The two knobs on the sides of the joystick can be used to lower or raise th...
