Live cell imaging systems have advanced tremendously over the past 10 years. Live cell imaging helps scientists fully understand living cells in a quarantined environment. Scientists will genuinely understand the biological function and even the cellular dynamics of living cells when they have the most advanced live-cell imaging system available. The live-cell imaging technology will provide the scientist with time-lapse photos and films of living cells to study the cells in detail without expending a lot of effort.
Cell imaging systems are very complex and unique. There are very few manufacturers available that produce this technology. These systems are rare to find because the technology requires scientific construction of advanced photo lenses and imaging technology in a microscopic way. The technology requires stable hands, but the technology requires a thorough understanding of what scientists need. A recent breakthrough in technology has advanced imaging by utilizing quantum dots so that cell imagery is stable.
Live cell imaging systems are very complex and are used in multiple different ways. Microscopic time-lapse video helps scientists understand the division of cancer cells, reproduction activities, and understanding of biological tissue cells. Images from this complex system help scientists to see living cells in a three-dimensional environment at the most optimum resolution.
You may wonder how they do it? The process is quite simple to an experienced researcher and scientist in the area of biotechnology. Before live cells are run through the live cell microscope, they are bio-inked. Boinking is where specialized cell ink is applied to the live cells to prepare the cells to be viewed under a specialized microscope. The microscope with the ability to record is then turned on to view the cells in detail.
