Description
Perfect 3-color combination for STED @ 775 nm. abberior STAR RED NUP98 (red) and STAR ORANGE vimentin (cyan) complemented by the new STAR 460L tubulin (yellow). Cultured mammalian cells were fixed and labeled by indirect immunofluorescence.

Description
Four color confocal image of mammalian cultured cells. Peroxisomes were immunostained with abberior STAR RED (magenta) and nuclear pore proteins with abberior STAR 580 (green). F-actin fibers were highlighted with abberior STAR 488 phalloidin (gray).
The nucleus was visualized with DAPI (blue).

abberior STAR
abberior STAR dyes enable background-free labeling in cells or tissue, to get the most out of your sample. They excel with high brightness and photostability, while conjugates of the dyes show an excellent solubility in aqueous buffers as PBS.
abberior STAR L
abberior STAR L dyes are abberior’s long Stokes-shift dye series. The common characteristic of the dyes is an exceptional long Stokes-shift between the excitation and emission maximum. Our abberior STAR L dyes are designed to provide bright fluorescence for multiplexed imaging. Conjugates of the dyes show a very good solubility in aqueous buffers as PBS to allow labeling of the structures of interest with a good signal-to-noise-ratio.
