Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Imaging is one of the key technologies underpinning discoveries in biomedical research. Each imaging technique however usually only provides a specific type of information. For instance, live-cell imaging using fluorescent tags can show us the dynamics of a system. On the other hand, electron microscopy (EM) gives us better resolution combined with the structural reference space. By applying a combination of light and electron microscopy modalities to a single sample one can exploit the advantages of both techniques in correlative light electron microscopy (CLEM). Although CLEM approaches can generate additional insights into the sample that cannot be gained by either technique in isolation, the visualization of the object of interest via markers or probes is still one of the bottlenecks in a Correlative Microscopy workflow. Whereas fluorescence is not directly visible in a standard electron microscope, gold particles, as the most common choice of probe for EM can also only be visualized using specialized light microscopes. In this review we will discuss some of the latest developments of probes for CLEM and some strategies how to choose a probe, discussing pros and cons of specific probes, and ensuring that they function as a dual modality marker.
