System description & applications
This microscope is used for multi-dimensional image acquisition of fluorescently‐tagged proteins to follow the dynamics of cellular structures. Samples are imaged in high content screening conditions with three dimensions and three channels for each sample.
Researchers are now able to obtain four times more images of ascidian embryos compared to the same microscopy system equipped with a conventional acquisition software.
