Lab update 3-1-08

Mostly, I have been working on immunofluorescence experiments and taking pictures of same. I’ve actually gotten some pretty good images of my experiments and that makes me very happy. I now have good images for:

Figure 1A: Panels 2 and 3
Figure 2B: Panels 1, 2 and 3

There’s still a lot left for me to do, though. Unfortunately, I’m still having problems with the deconvolution software. Fortunately (?) I’m not the only one having problems. While this is definitely inconvenient, at least it means that it’s not just something I’m doing wrong or that my images are too sucky to deconvolve (actually, they look much better before I try to deconvolve them). Importantly, the other person who is having problems with the software said that it was working fine several weeks ago, but is now causing problems. Hopefully, it can be fixed because it’s pretty expensive software.

Anyhow, for now, I’m not doing the deconvolution and the images look fine so I’m going to set up the figures with the images that I have.
