N-SIM for Quantitative Ultra-Structural Analyses of the Nuclear Lamina

October 2016

Super-resolution Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM), available from Nikon via the N-SIM S and N-SIM E systems, allows for the observation of details inaccessible to traditional microscopes, such as confocal and widefield. In this application note we see how the N-SIM system enables quantitative multi-color evaluation of the distribution of different nuclear lamin proteins and the structures they form.
