We have a couple folks who have successfully used iFP1.4 in the far red
(Cy5) channel on our scopes. On our four line spinning disk confocal
(405/491/561/640) we have successfully done 4-color imaging in mammalian
cells using mTagBFP / EGFP / mCherry / iFP1.4. Probably there are
better combinations out there (iRFP is supposed to be better than
iFP1.4) but this one works well.
