Imaging technologies drive discovery in cell biology. Innovations in microscopy hardware, imaging methods and computational analysis of large-scale, complex datasets can increase imaging resolution, definition and allow access to new biology. We asked experts at the leading edge of biological imaging what they are most excited about when it comes to microscopy in cell biology and what challenges need to be overcome to reach these goals.
