What are the Common Techniques Used in Cellular Imaging?
Several techniques are commonly used in cellular imaging in histology:
Light Microscopy: This includes bright-field, phase-contrast, and differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. Fluorescence Microscopy: It involves labeling cells with fluorescent dyes or proteins to visualize specific cellular components. Confocal Microscopy: This technique provides high-resolution images by eliminating out-of-focus light. Electron Microscopy: Includes transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which offer detailed ultrastructural information. Multiphoton Microscopy: Useful for imaging deep within tissues with minimal damage.
