LS2.3: Probes for light and electron microscopy
Session co-organisers: Paul Verkade, Carsten Schultz
The availability of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) to specifically mark proteins has revolutionised life science light microscopy. Likewise gold particles have been an invaluable tool for localization studies in electron microscopy for decades. Probes are therefore a crucial part of almost any microscopy technology. Improvements to existing probes and the development of new ones give us even greater opportunities. In this session we will highlight the current state of the art of what is possible with these new and upcoming and well-established probes for both light and electron microscopy.
