✦ Synopsis

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is widely used to monitor intracellular calcium levels in living cells loaded with calcium-sensitive fluorophores. This review examines the basic advantages and limitations of CLSM in in vivo imaging analyses of calcium dynamics. The benefits of utilizing ratioed images and dextran-conjugated fluorophores are addressed, and practical aspects of handling confocal datasets are outlined. After considering some relatively new microscopical methods that can be used in conjunction with conventional CLSM, possible future applications of confocal techniques in analyses of intracellular calcium dynamics are discussed.

## Abstract Confocal laser scanning microscopy has been previously applied to the study of protein uptake in porous chromatography resins. This method requires labeling the protein with a fluorescent probe. The labeled protein is then diluted with a large quantity of native protein so that the fluo
