Dr. Peter O’Toole, Director of the Bioscience Technology Facility and Head of Imaging and Cytometry Laboratory at the University of York, explains why his department is so interested in correlative microscopy. The Imaging and Cytometry Lab at York has an array of microscopic solutions serving a multi-disciplinary scientific community. Dr. O’Toole aims to use correlative microscopy for low-resolution, label-free live cell imaging and high-resolution analysis to better understand the proteins in the cell.
