          Abstract

          Advances in microscopy now enable researchers to easily acquire multi-channel three-dimensional (3D) images and 3D time series (4D). However, processing, analyzing, and displaying this data can often be difficult and time- consuming. We discuss some of the software tools and techniques that are available to accomplish these tasks.

          Concepts for nanoscale resolution in fluorescence microscopy.

          Spatio-temporal visualization of cellular structures by fluorescence microscopy has become indispensable in biology. However, the resolution of conventional fluorescence microscopy is limited by diffraction to about 180 nm in the focal plane and to about 500 nm along the optic axis. Recently, concepts have emerged that overcome the diffraction resolution barrier fundamentally. Formed on the basis of reversible saturable optical transitions, these concepts might eventually allow us to investigate hitherto inaccessible details within live cells.

            Fluorescence microscopy with super-resolved optical sections.

            The fluorescence microscope, especially its confocal variant, has become a standard tool in cell biology research for delivering 3D-images of intact cells. However, the resolution of any standard optical microscope is at least 3 times poorer along the axis of the lens that in its focal plane. Here, we review principles and applications of an emerging family of fluorescence microscopes, such as 4Pi microscopes, which improve axial resolution by a factor of seven by employing two opposing lenses. Noninvasive axial sections of 80-160 nm thickness deliver more faithful 3D-images of subcellular features, providing a new opportunity to significantly enhance our understanding of cellular structure and function.

              VisBio: a computational tool for visualization of multidimensional biological image data.

              New laser scanning microscopy techniques enable biologists to acquire larger, more complex image datasets. Emerging imaging modalities such as multispectral, harmonic, and fluorescence lifetime can generate data with six or more dimensions; however, existing software is not well suited to the visualization or analysis of such data. To address these concerns, we have developed VisBio, an application and toolkit for visualization and analysis of multidimensional, biological image data of any dimensionality.
