Q&A

       PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTS:

  • [00:00:00] What is the purpose of elongating a mitotic chromosome into a cycle?
  • [00:01:57] Are you imaging multiple samples simultaneously? Or one after the other?
  • [00:03:16] Have you done similar Imaging with other types of microscopes such as spinning disc?
  • [00:05:11] How long can the embryo be imaged on a Bruker light-sheet microscope?
  • [00:06:42] Does the fluorescence technology you have been using affect the number of condensing complexes?
