Our data clearly demonstrate that continuous monitoring of living cell cultures without disturbing the cells can reveal more information than conventional
microscopic observation of cultures.
A new 3 - D imaging technique shows that higher resolution is not the only desirable trait for microscopic observations
The overall goal of the Cell Imaging Shared Resource is to supply VICC researchers with access to cutting edge technology and expert technical support
for microscopic observation and analysis of tissue and cellular anatomy and physiology related to cancer research.
These include: acid hydrolysis and monosaccharide composition using gas - liquid chromatography [3],
microscopic observation of xylem stem sections [4, 5], seedling growth on medium containing cell wall hydrolyzing enzymes [6] and Fourier - Transform Infrared (FT - IR) microspectroscopy [7, 8].
While it was initially difficult to make out details of the amber inclusion, Xing and his colleagues relied on CT scanning and
microscopic observations to get a closer look.
The biologists conducted their study using a combination of
microscopic observations and a computer model that they developed through an interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers from the Automatic Control Lab under Heinz Koeppl (now at TU Darmstadt).
Diagnosis of Cytauxzoon felis Cytauxzoon felis is diagnosed by
the microscopic observation of piroplasms (the blood parasite) in blood and / or PCR testing.
Likewise, situated at the end of the exhibition, the Moonlight Serenade video continues to expose
these microscopic observations.
