Investigate Molecular Dynamics in Live Cells and Organisms using Fluorescence Correlation-based Microscopy Methods

Developments in microscopy technologies and techniques have been enabling deeper insight into molecular characteristics in vivo within their environment. Fluorescence correlation-based methods, including FCS, FCCS, array detector-based FCS such as Dynamics Profiler and RICS can efficiently address questions such as local concentration, molecular size and mobility, oligomerization, flow velocity and direction, protein-protein interactions in living cells and organisms. This talk will introduce the basic principles of these methods, highlight their advantages and disadvantages, and focus on some typical applications.
