Vimentin staining in mouse
3T3 fibroblasts
Mouse fibroblast cells werelabeled with antibodies
specific for vimentin, whichis part of the cytoskeleton.
Bound antibodies arevisualized via attachedfluorochromes which upon
exitation with 405nm-blue
diode laser “CAT”, emit
green light at 540nm.

Application Example
Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Improved contrast through selection of suitable laser wavelength anddyes: Fluorescence staining techniques are frequently used in biologicalresearch and diagnosis due to their high specificity and sensitivity. Thus,for example antibodies specific for vimentin are often observed in thesera of patients suffering from autoimmune diseases or viral infections(e.g. Measles).
In biomedical research, expression and distribution of fluorochromelabeled molecules can even be visualized in living cells.
