Imaging of cells and cellular dynamics

Recent advances in both the hard- and software used in live cell imaging allow us to observe cell structure and dynamics in never before seen detail and enable new quantitative analysis of dynamic intracellular processes. Such detailed observation frequently reveals new insights hidden from lower resolution or biochemical approaches that average data over large cell populations. This Collection draws together new research from across the life sciences showcasing innovations in cell imaging methodologies and image analysis techniques, and how these are put into practice.
