First, I'd like to thank everyone for the advice on getting my yeast cells to 
stick to the slide. I've had some success. The problem now is bleaching. My
cells stain, I can see them in the periphery of the field of view, but as 
soon as I bring them into the center for a good view, they VERY RAPIDLY 
bleach. My secondary ab is DTAF conjugated (same excitation & emission 
wavelengths as FITC). Is this bleaching a result of unstable secondary? my 
staining technique? or the UV source? Any references or info would be greatly 
appreciated.  

Thanks in advance!
