title: [Image processing devices for measurement of intracellular calcium concentration].
abstract: Recent development of fluorescence calcium indicators and image processing devices made it possible to measure temporal and spatial change in intracellular calcium concentration in neuronal cells in culture and also in brain slice preparation. In this technical note the characteristics, applicability and problems of the method are described.
