Within the past few years there has been a rapid development of new technologies that have recently transformed the field of optical imaging. These include the various methods in achieving super-resolution microscopy and their applications to living samples, correlative and functional imaging and the development of novel reagents and sample labeling strategies which provide improved visualization of structure and function within biological systems. This year the Technologists' Forum is partnering with organizers of the Innovations in Light Microscopy symposium [B06] to provide a series of presentations that will review the most common protocols used for super-resolution, CLEM, live cell imaging and advances in cell labeling tools.

• Super-resolution microscopy


• Correlative microscopy


• New fluorophores and sample labeling strategies


• Live cell imaging using optical microscopy
