Calcium dynamics in root cells of Arabidopsis thaliana visualized with selective plane illumination microscopy.

Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) is an imaging technique particularly suited for long term in-vivo analysis of transparent specimens, able to visualize small organs or entire organisms, at cellular and eventually even subcellular resolution. Here we report the application of SPIM in Ca...
