Abstract
The optical microscope has been an essential tool for generations of biologists, allowing the examination of details of individual cells and organisms impossible with the naked eye. Attaching fluorescent dyes to specific molecular cell constituents allows real-time observation and quantitation of the activities of these constituents in cells and tissues. An advantage of the optical microscope is that it prevents the loss temporal and spatial relationships that occur when cells are disrupted for biochemical studies.
