Confocal Microscopy Reveals Cell Surface Receptor Aggregation Through Image Correlation Spectroscopy
Published on: August 2, 2018
Abstract:
Image correlation spectroscopy (ICS) was developed as the imaging analog of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Using standard fluorescence microscopy image series as input, different versions of ICS can be used to extract parameters on the molecular transport properties (diffusion and flow) and oligomerization state for fluorescently labeled species in cells. This review introduces the various forms of spatial and temporal ICS and discusses application of these methods to reveal properties of the biomolecules that can be measured from standard fluorescence image time series sampled from cells and neurons.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
