Why would one want to use glass bottom dishes containing gridded coverslips? What is the size of the grid?
The gridded coverslips allow one to refer to specific cells and follow them over time. For instance, individual cells can be microinjected, returned to the incubator, and observed at multiple time points since each cell can be identified with a unique alpha-numeric coordinate in the dish. Glass bottom dishes containing gridded Bellco Glass (jpg) coverslips are available. Part numbers for standard gridded dishes are: P35G-2-14-C-GRID and P50G-2-14-F-GRID. Grid size: The grid on P35G-2-14-C-GRID and P50G-2-14-F-GRID consists of 520 unique alphanumeric squares. Each square measures 600 microns x 600 microns. The line thickness is 20 microns.
