    Live-cell volumetric super-resolution imaging with 120-nm lateral and 360-nm axial resolution using structured-illumination microscopy at speeds of up to 5 s per cell volume over >50 time points captures fine cellular dynamics using only low illumination intensities.

    Incorporation of time information into the annotation of distinct biological states in automated fluorescence time-lapse live-cell imaging of complex cellular dynamics reduces both classification noise and confusion between cell states with similar morphology. A computational framework for achieving this is implemented in the open-source software package CellCognition.

    Prospective isolation of defined cell types is a crucial prerequisite for their molecular analysis, but the heterogeneity of populations yielded by current protocols obscures relevant information. New studies now use additional features from time-resolved imaging data for live prospective identification of cells with defined future behavior.
