Description
In recent years, light microscopy has emerged as a powerful tool in molecular biology research, facilitating the observation of structures at the level of single molecules. In my presentation, I will delve into the advantages and limitations of traditional light microscopy and modern techniques such as confocal microscopy, STED (STimulated Emission Depletion), and STORM (STochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy).
I will emphasize the significance of these methods in investigating DNA damage, such as strand breaks, in cells and tissues. Furthermore, I will illustrate how modern light microscopy techniques enable real-time observation of single DNA molecules, opening new avenues for understanding the dynamics of biological processes at the molecular level.
By critically analyzing the advantages and limitations of various microscopy techniques and presenting specific examples of their application in biological research, my presentation aims to shed light on the evolving role of light microscopy in molecular biology and its importance for driving future scientific discoveries.
