Figure 1: Picture of the automatized microscope.
A microscope with motorized x, y and z control, a motorized shutter and a 60× lens is used with appropriate fluorescence filters for the fluorescence signals. Light-emitting diode arrays are installed as light sources for red light (660 nm) and far-red light (748 nm) pulses.
