Imaging examples with POLARIC-500BCS
Salmomella typhimurium stained with POLARIC-500BCS were imaged wth structured illumination microscopy (Nikon, N-SIM). Ex: 488 nm, Em: 510-550 nm. Membrane structure of the bactria were clearly observed.
No. POLARIC-500BCS also stains eukaryotic cells including mammalian culured cells. You can not selectively stain prokaryotes.
