Live cell imaging refers to the examination of dynamic living cells in their growth medium that change over time. It comprises detailed protocols and techniques to culture cells on the microscope stage and maintains a constant focal plane to follow cellular processes in real time. It relies on phase contrast microscopy and brightfield to illuminate the cell culture and examine various cell organelles, such as plastids, mitochondria, centrosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes. It is influenced by imaging modality, media, temperature, humidity, pH, osmolarity, and photon dose, which are essential for maintaining cellular health. Live cell imaging also allows monitoring of cell fusion events, determining the mobility of molecules by using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and measuring various modifications, such as growth or aging of condensate over a period. It provides essential cellular data through the visualization of transient events that are often missed in endpoint assays and revealing optimal time points. It is often utilized to examine the fertilization process, cellular development, cell signaling process, and cell differentiation. Furthermore, as live cell imaging provides accurate information on cell cultures, it is utilized by biologists, pharmacologists, and toxicologists around the world.
