Imaging study confocal microscopy

A good approach to study endocytosis is a combination of flow cytometry with a microscopic method such as spectral bio-imaging or confocal microscopy. 

Principle A confocal microscopy as a modification of luminescent microscope may produce images of high quality from fluorescing cells and permits the study of cells structures (see Chapter 8). 

Our imaging studies have demonstrated that it is possible to image C60 and SWNTs in both fixed and live cells using STEM, TEM and confocal microscopy techniques. We exposed human macrophage cells to C60 and SWNTs and found that both C60...

Two-dimensional experiments with optical microscopy are also affected by other negative factors. Laser confocal microscopy has a relatively slow imaging speed and is not suitable for real-time electrodeposition studies. Furthermore, hydrogen bubbles interfere with optical microimaging making it difficult to observe their effects. Why, then, have two-dimensional studies so far dominated this domain The answer is that they are considerably simpler than those in 3D since they are not affected by complications like convection and, indeed, hydrogen bubbles. It is time,...
