You are not alone Tim, and it is how the photochemistry generally works. I my experience setting any bulb/LED/laser at wavelength <550nm at high power for prolonged time disturbs functionality of live cardiac cells.

What James suggested may work for fixed cells exclusively. We should not forget that dyes typically are only minority of  sample’s fluorophores and high laser intensity will be absorbed by other molecules and trigger a lot of chemistry and phototoxicity.

My 2 cents,
Arvydas

Hi James and Alison, am I the only one who has seen the 405nm line bleach
other channels?  This is purely my own experience, but I've tried to set up
multi-color FRAP where I bleach one channel with a second control channel
in the same ROI, and I've generally found that high-power lasers bleach
most stuff to the "red" of it.  i.e., a 555nm laser bleaches Cy3 and Cy5
(though far-red fluors are generally hard to bleach), 488nm bleaches GFP,
Cy3, and Cy5, and 405nm bleaches everything.  So I could bleach
mApple-tagged endosomes and counterstain with EGFP, but not vice versa.

That seems independent of actual fluorescence excitation by the laser, so I
don't know the physics.  Maybe it was  a fluke on my part?  A phenomenon
specific to live imaging?  I haven't seen anything in the literature.

Anyway I'd recommend testing the 405nm at high power to see if other
channels lose any signal.

All the best,

--TF
