What are Some Key Technological Advances in Live Cell Imaging?
Several technological advances have enhanced the capabilities of live cell imaging:
Super-resolution microscopy: Provides higher resolution images beyond the diffraction limit of light. Multiphoton microscopy: Allows deeper tissue penetration and reduced phototoxicity. Fluorescent protein tagging: Enables specific visualization of proteins and cellular structures. Automated imaging systems: Facilitate high-throughput screening and analysis.
These innovations continue to push the boundaries of live cell imaging, making it an even more powerful tool in cancer research.
