An antioxidant screen identifies ascorbic acid for prevention of light-induced mitotic prolongation in live cell imaging
Abstract Phototoxicity is an important issue in fluorescence live imaging of light-sensitive cellular processes such as mitosis. Among several approaches to reduce phototoxicity, the addition of antioxidants to the media has been used as a simple method. Here, we analyzed the impact of phototoxicity...
