Abstract
Protoplasts were separately stained with the fluorescent dyes fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC). Following fusion, doubly stained heterokaryons were identified under fluorescence microscopy by using the Zeiss filter set 48 77 05 (excitation filter 450-490 nm, dichroic reflector 510 nm, and barrier filter 520 nm) which allowed simultaneous fluorochrome emissions. Previously, either emission spectrum, but not both, was possible for any single filter set.
