According to a study from Santa Maria Imbaro, Italy, "Two problems have hampered the use of light microscopy for structural studies of cellular organelles for a long time: the limited resolution and the difficulty of obtaining true structural boundaries from complex intensity curves. The advent of modern high-resolution light microscopy techniques and their combination with objective image segmentation now provide us with the means to bridge the gap between light and electron microscopy in cell biology applications."
"In this study, we provide the first comparative correlative analysis of three-dimensional structures obtained by 4Pi microscopy and segmented by a ...
