Time-Lapse Microscopy Imaging

INTRODUCTION By their very nature, biological systems are dynamic, and a proper understanding of the cellular and molecular processes underlying living organisms and how to manipulate them is a prerequisite to combat diseases and improve human health care. One of the major challenges of current biomedical research, therefore, is to unravel not just the spatial organization of these complex syst...

By their very nature, biological systems are dynamic, and a proper understanding of the cellular and molecular processes underlying living organisms and how to manipulate them is a prerequisite to combat diseases and improve human health care.

Automatic Generation of Time-lapse Animations

A simple system for the automatic generation of time-lapse animations has been created at the Aerodynamics Laboratory of the Institute for Aerospace Research, National Research Council of Canada (NRC). The system consists of two small Perl programs and a static web page, and relies heavily on two open source software packages: LWP::Simple, and ImageMagick. The first program, tlget.pl, runs for ...

Time-lapse Raman imaging of osteoblast differentiation

Osteoblastic mineralization occurs during the early stages of bone formation. During this mineralization, hydroxyapatite (HA), a major component of bone, is synthesized, generating hard tissue. Many of the mechanisms driving biomineralization remain unclear because the traditional biochemical assays used to investigate them are destructive techniques incompatible with viable cells. To determine...
