title: Specialized imaging techniques.
abstract: The foregoing discussion has presented a summary of many of the optical microscopic methods in use by researchers and clinicians. Along with emerging technologies, such as laser tweezers and scissors, which are outside the scope of this review, the methodologies discussed here ensure that the optical microscope will remain a central tool for biomedical research.
