EMS Technical Data Sheets
Application: Screening FISH-Labeled Planaria (Schmidtea Mediterranea)
EMS Catalog #SFA
FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) is routinely used to label features in planarians (Schmidtea mediterranea). The NIGHTSEA Model SFA Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter can be added to just about any existing stereo microscope to create a practical system for screening samples for successful preparation prior to moving to higher resolution imaging techniques.
