Descriptive no more: the dawn of high-throughput microscopy.
The next revolution in microscopy is upon us: it is High-Throughput Imaging (HTI). In HTI large numbers of images from many samples are acquired and analyzed. This has become possible due to a confluence of dramatic progress in microscope engineering, enabling efficient image collection, and the availability of high computing power for data analysis. Combining HTI with genome-wide RNA interference (RNAi)-based gene knockdown technology offers a powerful approach for unbiased discovery of cellular mechanisms.
