Introduction

Abstract

The imaging technique of the location of molecules in cells and tissues had remarkably advanced life science. Nowadays, improved techniques are required for image information that is quantitative, high resolution, 3D or in a wide area. As such studies this symposium introduced the electron microscope imaging and the automatic image analysis of a wide area, the analysis of elements in the plant tissues with an isotope microscope or SIMS (Secondary Ionization Mass Spectrometer), as well as high-resolution imaging of alive tissues using a 2 photon microscope.
