Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the theory of image formation within the microscope
and the use of optical section microscopy coupled with image processing methods to …

Recent studies in diverse eukaryotes have implicated a family of nuclear envelope proteins
containing SUN domains as key components of meiotic nuclear organization and …

Multispectral imaging technologies have been widely used in fields of astronomy and remote
sensing. Interdisciplinary approaches developed in, for example, the National Aeronautics …

… The shape of the magnetization curve is very similar to that in the magnetoelectric Y-type
hexaferrite Ba 0.5 Sr 1.5 Zn 2 Fe 12 O 22 (ref. 15). In the Y-type hexaferrite, the partial …

Autophagy is a tightly regulated intracellular bulk degradation/recycling system that has
fundamental roles in cellular homeostasis 1 . Autophagy is initiated by isolation membranes, …

Cloning of the entire set of an organism's protein-coding open reading frames (ORFs), or 'ORFeome',
is a means of connecting the genome to downstream 'omics' applications. Here we …

Degenerative disorders of motor neurons include a range of progressive fatal diseases such
as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal-bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), and spinal …

The cells of a cold-sensitive mutant nda3-KM311 of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces
pombe were arrested highly synchronously at a step similar to mitotic prophase when …

The movement of chromosomes that precedes meiosis was observed in living cells of fission
yeast by fluorescence microscopy. Further analysis by in situ hybridization revealed that the …

Aneuploidy decreases cellular fitness, yet it is also associated with cancer, a disease of
enhanced proliferative capacity. To investigate one mechanism by which aneuploidy could …
