LS2.7: Correlative Microscopy for Life Sciences
Session co-organisers: Lucy Collinson, Peter O’Toole
Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy is a powerful technique that combines the benefits of fluorescence microscopy (large field-of-view, protein localisation) with the benefits of electron microscopy (nanometre resolution, ultrastructural context for markers). This session covers recent developments in technology that are pushing the boundaries of correlative imaging. Light microscopes are being integrated into electron microscopes to give seamless multimodal imaging with high correlation efficiency. Cryo light microscopy is being integrated with cryo electron microscopy for direct detection of expressed fluorescent markers with minimal processing artefacts and ice contamination. Finally, correlative imaging is extending to other imaging media, with correlative cryo fluorescence and cryo soft X-ray tomography delivering high resolution protein localisation and ultrastructural imaging of whole, unstained cells.
