• How do I choose the right excitation and emission settings for my fluorophore?

Find your fluorophore on FPbase. Based on the excitation and emission data, chose the closest filter set in the software.

• How do I save and access my data?

Once you are done with the imaging, the data is automatically saved on the driver ImageDisk (D :) “FusionImages” folder with the current date.

First, discard the images you don't need and leave the images you want to keep.

Then, copy these images to the bioimg server in the following way:

→ open the driver ImageDisk (D :) “Data_Bioimg”

→ open folder with your Weizmann user name

→ open a new folder with the date (crucial)

→ transfer the data (characters like ~!@#$%^&*()`;’:<>,/?[]{}  are not allowed, and files including them are not copied)

Once you are done, the computer will synchronize the correctly saved data to the “bioimg” server.

To see the data on your PC, follow the instructions in this link: BioImg Storage Server system.

**When starting to work with the Bioimaging system for the first time, please make sure you have a UNIX ID added to your WIS ID (you can check it with your unit administrator)
