## Abstract The central role of Ca^2+^ signalling in plants is now well established. Much of our recent research has been based on the premise that the direct demonstration of signalβresponse coupling via Ca^2+^ requires the imaging or measurement of cytosolic free Ca^2+^ in living cells. Methods (
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 ra
