Biological research is impossible to imagine without a microscope.
Latest genera-
tions of microscopes, able to produce huge arrays of multidimensional
data, only
distantly resemble Leeuwenhoek’s first microscope. Every advance in
visualization
techniques and hardware brings us one step closer to understanding life,
e.g., how
genome information gives identity to cells, how cells constitute
organisms and how
errant cells cause disease. Discovery of the green fluorescent protein
(GFP) in the nineties of the previous century was definitely one of the
most impor-
tant milestones on that path, giving new strong impulse to the field of
fluorescence
microscopy.http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/22965/110413_Dzyubachyk%2C%20Oleh%20-%20bewerkt.pdf
