5 Steps To Live-Cell Imaging

Fluorescence imaging of live cells is a powerful approach to the study of dynamic cellular processes and events. Recent advances in fluorescent dye development and innovation have resulted in improved reagents that detect and monitor these dynamic processes. Continued progress in optics, sensor technology, computing power, and software tools have been integrated into imaging systems that are more powerful and straightforward to use.

All of these innovations have contributed to the widespread adoption of fluorescence imaging in cell-based research where scientists apply these new tools in many diverse areas, such as developmental and stem cell biology, medical research, drug discovery, and environmental studies.

In this guide we outline how to capture the best possible images.
