Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Dear Confocal Listserved, Has anyone tried FocalClear, MountClear and Immersion Solution-M? They are available at http://www.pacgenbiopharm.com/focusclear/tech.html and see especially fig1C at http://www.pacgenbiopharm.com/focusclear/overview.html. I read about them in a review article: High-resolution confocal imaging and three-dimensional rendering, Methods, Volume 30, Issue 1, May 2003, Pages 86-93 Yee-Chien Liu and Ann-Shyn Chiang <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/10462023> Looked pretty impressive (in fig1C not seeing the specimen was pretty impressive). Have a great weekend, George George McNamara, Ph.D. Imaging Scientist Congressman Julian Dixon Image Core The Saban Research Institute of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles 4650 Sunset Blvd., MS 133, SRT 1016 Los Angeles, CA 90027 323-669-2548 voice 323-251-8878 cell 323-668-7921 fax [log in to unmask] http://shelia/image Image Core Web (CHLA Intranet) \\ntapps49\home Image Core User Home (Intranet) \\ntapps49\appnotes Image Core Application Notes (Intranet) http://www.childrenshospitalla.org/research.html CHLA Saban Research Institute http://home.earthlink.net/~geomcnamara Personal web site http://home.earthlink.net/~mpmicro Microscopy web site "Old soldiers never die; they just fade away." - D.
