تصوير الخلية الحية

جهاز حيويs exist as a complex interplay of countless مكون خلوي ^{[الإنجليزية]}s interacting across four dimensions to produce the phenomenon called life. While it is common to reduce living organisms to non-living samples to accommodate traditional static imaging tools, the further the sample deviates from the native conditions the more likely the delicate processes in question will exhibit perturbations.[6] The onerous task of capturing the true علم وظائف الأعضاء identity of living tissue, therefore, requires high-resolution visualization across both space and time within the parent organism.[7] The technological advances of live-cell imaging, designed to provide spatiotemporal images of خلية events in real-time, serves an important role for corroborating the biological relevance of physiological changes observed during experimentation. Due to their contiguous relationship with physiological conditions, live-cell assays are considered the standard for probing complex and dynamic cellular events.[8] As dynamic processes such as هجرة الخلية، علم الأحياء النمائي, and توجيه البروتين increasingly become the focus of biological research, techniques capable of capturing 3-dimensional data in real-time for cellular networks (في الموقع) and entire organisms (في الجسم الحي) will become indispensable tools in understanding biological systems. The general acceptance of live-cell imaging has led to a rapid expansion in the number of practitioners and established a need for increased spatial and temporal resolution without compromising the health of the cell.[9]
