Different Modes of Imaging Cells

Caption

In the top panel, different modes of imaging the same cell show the differences between visible light microscopy and fluorescence imaging, and in the lower panel, the images resulting from Fourier-transform infrared spectromicroscopy. Infrared absorption at different frequencies pinpoints different cell components at specific locations in the living cell.
