Article: Acquiring cell image data using automated microscopy: Harvard researchers take major step in determining drug action on entire cell.(Visualization)

Fluorescence microscopy has emerged as one of the most powerful tools in cell biology, and is poised to drive discovery in the new field of systems biology. Data acquired as a result of fluorescence microscopy applications in the laboratory has been critical to developing an understanding of cell biology. Fluorescence microscopes can record the concentration and distribution of bio-molecules labeled in cells with specific fluorescent probes. Automated fluorescence microscopy can help researchers investigate the physiological condition of single cells using high-throughput and high-data-content screening techniques, and can allow an assessment of the bioactivity of a ...
