Advanced Preparation
Start here: the full first-experiment workflow, from probe selection to laser alignment, calibration, and focus.
FluidFM Probe Filling
Prepare your probe solution and load it into the reservoir without introducing air bubbles or clogs.
Plate Preparation
Pick a supported plate or dish format, use the recommended volumes, and mount it correctly to avoid probe collisions.
Laser Signal
Get familiar with the laser deflection-detection system and troubleshoot saturation, weak signal, or drift before you begin.
Imaging
Set up fluorescence and brightfield imaging, choose your filter sets, and export your observe-workflow data.
