Biosensor-Based Microscope Measures Cell Interactions Quantitatively Over Time

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A novel live-cell imaging method, dubbed the Photonic Crystal Enhanced Microscope (PCEM), could someday help biologists better understand how stem cells transform into specialized cells and how diseases like cancer spread. The PCEM enables scientists to dynamically monitor and quantitatively measure the movement of cellular materials at the plasma membrane of individual live cells. Yue Zhuo, post-doctoral researcher and Beckman Institute Fellow, can image live cells without fluorescent dyes using the photonic crystal enhanced microscope. Courtesy of G. Pluta. The microscope uses a...Read full article
