General description
Cell Imaging: Methods Express covers the key techniques that can be employed in any lab with access to cell imaging equipment, even if they do not currently specialize in imaging. It focuses on live cell imaging and light microscopy applications, but many of the techniques and approaches are equally relevant to the imaging of fixed specimens
The topics in this comprehensive research guide include: Confocal versus widefield imaging; Transmitted light imaging; Photobleaching and photoactivation; Deconvolution and 3D reconstruction; Spectral imaging; Quantification and image analysis; Imaging calcium signals and activation of calcium binding proteins; Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer; Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy; Correlative light-electron microscopy; Fluorescence Lifetime imaging; High Content and High Throughput imaging
