Fluorescence imaging

  • sample genetically modified to express fluorescent markers (allows imaging of live cells)
  • use of antibodies with fluorophores

we get a good spacial resolution, but we're restricted on the number of markers

Single Cell mass cytomety

cross talk is practically innexistent

we get a lot of features, but we completely lose the spatial information!
