Confocal Laser Scanning
Microscpy image stack of a Chironomus tentans salivary gland cell nucleus. The fluorescence was due to the protein hrp36 conjugated to red-fluorescent AlexaFluor647, which was microinjected into the cytoplasm. After transport into the nucleus, hpr36 was incorporated into nascent RNA-particles, such that active transcription sites were marked. The brighter oval region in the image center is the cell nucleus. The polytene chromosomes showed their characteristic banding pattern. The images were aquired 15 min after after microinjection.Complete cell in fluorescence color-coded by the look-up-table „red hot“ of ImageJ Each image comprises 772x512 pixels, a total volume of 185 µm x 29 µm x 46 µm was imaged using a C-Apochromat 40X (NA 1.2 , water immersion) objective lens. The pinhole was set to 1.2 Airy units. Excitation 633nm (5% output); main dichromat UV/488/543/633; emission band pass filter LP650.

Confocal Point-Spread-Function
Calculated isointensity surfaces of the three-dimensional confocal point-spread-function are shown for a 0.7 NA objective with a 1 AU pinhole. The integrated intensity of the confocal psf is projected onto the individual axes and colored according to the color bar on the right. The isointensity surface shows all values of the psf having the same intensity relative to the maximum of the psf and is plotted using the same color table. We gratefully acknowledge Nicolai Hartmann, Department of Chemistry and Center for Nanoscience (CeNS), Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, for producing this movie.Slide4
MoviePSF_Pinhole.mp4
Confocal Point Spread Function as a function of Pinhole size
This video shows how the confocal point spread functions (psf) changes as the size of the pinhole is varied. The excitation psf without pinhole is shown in the upper left panel and the total psf is shown in the right upper panel. The fraction of light that is transmitted through the pinhole is shown on the graph in the lower panel with the green cursor marking the current pinhole size for the calculated psf. The smaller the pinhole size yields a higher overall resolution but at a significant loss in detection yield. The lower panel shows that a pinhole with the size of approximately 0.8 – 1 AU is the optimal compromise between resolution and detection yield.

MovieConfocal_GFP_Cell.mov
Confocal Image of a Huh7 cell with
eGFP-a-tubulin. This movie shows a three-dimensional reconstruction of a z-stack of confocal images from a Huh7 cell, where a-tubulin has been tagged with eGFP. The microtubules are clearly visible, demonstrating the capability of confocal microscopy for three-dimensional imaging. The diameter of the cell is approximately 60 𝜇m. Dr. Ralf Bausinger, Department of Chemistry, University of Konstanz, Germany, is gratefully acknowledged for collecting and processing the data and for making this video available to us.Slide6

Single
DiI molecules diffusing in a fluid glass-supported lipid bilayer. The bilayer was prepared by vesicle-fusion from the lipid dioleyl-phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) with low amounts of the lipohilic dye DiI (molar fraction of ~10-8). The detail has a size of 30 x 30 µm2, recording rate was 20 frames per second, the movie plays at real-time. Data Courtesy by E.
