Measurement and correction of shifts for multi fluorescence cryo microscopy imaging.

Merged images Axis Measured shifts [nm]
Alignment precision σA [nm]
Max Min Average Max Min Average
Green/Blue X 1417 3 142 29 8 17
Y 357 4 156 30 13 20



Red/Blue X 3098 8 415 25 5 13
Y 868 1 309 33 9 15

For each set of images, the shift between red/blue and green/blue fluorescence images was measured and corrected according to TetraSpeck microspheres of 200 nm diameter. The alignment precision σA is given in nm. Data corresponding to the maximum, minimum and average values were measured on 8 data sets recorded on plunge-frozen cells infected with Ad5-488 viruses and 8 data sets recorded on a plunge-frozen microsphere sample. A total of 3 to 20 TetraSpeck microspheres were used per image for the calculations.
