Abstract
Visualization of cellular and molecular processes is an indispensable tool for cell biologists, and innovations in microscopy methods unfailingly lead to new biological discoveries. Today, light microscopy (LM) provides ever-higher spatial and temporal resolution and visualization of biological process over enormous ranges. Electron microscopy (EM) is moving into the atomic resolution regime and allowing cellular analyses that are more physiological and sophisticated in scope. Importantly, much is being gained by combining multiple approaches, (e.g., LM and EM) to take advantage of their complementary strengths. The advent of high-throughput microscopies has led to a common need for sophisticated computational methods to quantitatively analyze huge amounts of data and translate images into new biological insights.
