Progress in video microscopy.
The progress in video microscopy is reviewed from its early inception, especially with respect to improvements of the microscope image quality. Very recent advances that provide serial optical sections and depth of field as thin as 0.1 micron and that make possible the recording of birefringent images of individual microtubules (25 nm in diameter) directly in live, dividing cells are also documented.
