Light microscopy has been a tool for biological research for centuries and thus is one of the oldest methods used in biological and medical sciences. The inherent limitation of light microscope resolution to structures only slightly smaller than intracellular organelles has posed a severe limitation to this technology for more than a century and was one of the reasons why electron microscopy with its much higher resolution was developed. But instead of stagnating, the field of light microscopy has continued to provide exciting new ways of looking at biological samples by introducing epifluorescence imaging, improving its specific labelling, its detection sensitivity and also its resolution, first axially (in 'z') and recently also laterally (in 'x' and 'y'). potential of light microscopic high content screening will be given.

This review article looks at the development of confocal imaging technology, with emphasis on its abilities to overcome some of the problems of imaging life processes, particularly in the intact organ or animal. A brief summary of three promising micro-imaging modalities is provided (which are micro
The fact that ncarly all humans have their heart on the left hand side is taken for granted by most people, without appreciating the complexity of the explanations needed to account for why this is consistently so. In many organisms we can understand, in principle, how the antero-posterior, and dorw
