A new Review in Journal of Cell Science discusses how specimens can impact image acquisition

Posted by Helen Robertson, on 13 April 2022

With the development of new imaging strategies and technologies and advanced computational analyses has come a body of literature addressing various aspects of optimising imaging and processing. However, the impact of the sample itself on the quality of the image attained has garnered less exploration. Fluorescent microscopy is dependant on two factors – the intensity
