In recent years there have been significant advances made in optics and imaging techniques that makes it possible to now image single molecules, including transporters, ion channels, receptors, protein-protein interactions and signaling complexes in live cells, as a function of time and space, that is spatial and temporal imaging of dynamic processes as a function of time. In addition advances in near infrared lasers and optics have also made it possible to image fibrillary collagens, elastin, lipid droplets and calcium deposits in unstained tissues. The proposed symposium will include speakers who have developed and applied these techniques to visualize biological processes that have not been possible before.
