What Techniques are Used to Study Calcium Influx in Histology?
Several techniques are employed to study calcium influx:
Fluorescent Indicators: Calcium-sensitive fluorescent dyes like Fura-2 and Fluo-4 are used to visualize calcium influx in living cells. Electrophysiology: Techniques like patch-clamp recordings measure calcium currents across the cell membrane. Confocal Microscopy: This allows for high-resolution imaging of calcium dynamics within tissues.
