Plates/dishes for confocal LSM of GFP-transformed cells - what is recommended? (Nov/07/2006 )
we are looking for cell culture plates or dishes (not larger than average 4 - 5 cm) with a glass bottom or a partial glass bottom thin as glass of a cover slip for fluorescence/CLSM microscopy of GFP-transformed cells; does anyone know a company who offers those specialities?
Or has anyone another idea what dishes/plates to use for inverted confocal LASER scan microscopy?
the only alternative I suppose are plates with a thin foil of plastic (NUNC) but I have no experience with those plates...

We uses glass-bottom 384-well plates for our GFP labeled cells. They are 12.5 X 8.5 cm (larger than you want) and work rather well. However, the plates are rather expensive and I've only found one company that makes them. I ordered that last batch from Greiner Bio-One through VWR (#82051-350). There may be other types of plates available by Greiner that better fit your specific needs.
Hope this helps!
