What are the Benefits of Live Cell Imaging Compared to Traditional Methods?
Traditional methods, such as fixed cell imaging and histology, provide static snapshots of cellular processes. In contrast, live cell imaging offers several advantages:
Real-time observation: Allows continuous monitoring of dynamic processes. Temporal resolution: Captures rapid changes and transient events in cells. Non-invasive: Minimizes cell damage and preserves natural behaviors. High spatial resolution: Provides detailed images at the sub-cellular level.
These benefits make live cell imaging a superior tool for studying the complexities of cancer biology.
