Specialized Imaging Systems

For more specific or detailed information certain specialized imaging systems may prove more useful than traditional microscopy. These imaging systems vary widely in scope and function. Certain technologies are used mainly to help increase experiment efficiency and reproducibility like gel imaging systems and high throughput imaging systems. Others are used to expand on the limits of traditional microscopy. These include x-ray imaging, that enables imaging inside living organisms, and laser micro dissection that allows for precise images during dissection of single cells. Along with developments within microscopy new and improved imaging systems continue to be released to allow for more data collection and information than ever before.
