Photoconversion using confocal microscope
This part has been used as a reporter for observation of bacterial uptake into the roots of the plants. Due to its photoconvertible properties, it allows to monitor the metabolic activity of the bacterial cell once uptaken into the root. Dendra was converted from 486nm excitation and 505nm emission wavelength, to 558nm excitation and 575nm emission wavelength using single photon stimulation. Conversion was achieved after exposure to 405nm wavelength using laser. Photoconversion was completed after about 15 rounds of bleaching at 50% laser intensity with the pinhole set to 3 airy units.
