What Are the Advantages of Using Confocal Microscopy?
The advantages of confocal microscopy in cancer research include:
High Resolution: Provides detailed and clear images of subcellular structures. Three-Dimensional Imaging: Allows for the reconstruction of 3D structures, giving a comprehensive view of the specimen. Specificity: Enables the use of multiple fluorescent labels to distinguish different cellular components and processes. Live Cell Imaging: Allows real-time observation of living cells, which is essential for understanding dynamic processes such as cell migration and division.
