Hi Ken,

I see no reason why you can't proceed with your patch clamp work and also
have the light go through the spinning disk.  You will need a camera that is
capable of triggering a shutter and then software that is capable of
triggering image capture from these pulses.  All the spinning disk is (in
the case of the BD/Atto CARV II) is a piece of hardware that sits in the
light path generating a confccal image.  That part is independent of whether
you are doing patch clamp or not.

Hello,

Does anyone know whether or not it is possible to do patch clamp onto a
cell, and image with a spinning disk type confocal?  Does the spinning disk
systems create any vibratiion or noise?


Thanks in advance,
Ken
