title: [See the signal--methods for calcium imaging in the cell].
abstract: Calcium ions are among the most universal secondary messengers existing in the living world. In the past thirty years the set of methods allowing the calcium signal visualization have been developed. Those in vivo methods allow us to observe the level of the free calcium ions in cells, tissues and organisms. The following text presents calcium imaging research tools available today as well as the calcium imaging methods and image calibration procedures.
