What are the Considerations for Selecting Imaging Systems?
The choice of imaging systems, such as light microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, or electron microscopes, depends on the resolution and magnification required. Light microscopes are sufficient for most routine analyses, while fluorescence microscopes are used for studying specific proteins or nucleic acids. Electron microscopes offer ultra-high resolution for detailed structural studies. The compatibility of the imaging system with staining techniques and the type of samples is also a key consideration.
