Abstract
The first attempts of bacteria observation started with the use of glass lenses to generate magnified images of specimens. This technique is constrained by the principal limit to the resolution of any optical system. Besides optical microscopy, other imaging techniques emerged to reveal more levels of details. The more the achievable resolution, the more complex the imaging systems, and at the same time, the more potentially cell-killing or DNA-damaging they may become. This article provides a state of the art of nonconventional sensor techniques that have been used in applications related to bacteria imaging, for the purpose of comparing the information they provide and determine their suitability or find out if their combination can yield new results without compromising the ability to keep the cells alive.
期刊介绍:
Microscopy and Microanalysis publishes original research papers in the fields of microscopy, imaging, and compositional analysis. This distinguished international forum is intended for microscopists in both biology and materials science. The journal provides significant articles that describe new and existing techniques and instrumentation, as well as the applications of these to the imaging and analysis of microstructure. Microscopy and Microanalysis also includes review articles, letters to the editor, and book reviews.
