Tools that monitor the physiology of a cell

Fluorescence microscopy is currently probably the most widely used microscopy technique as it enables the molecular composition of the structures being observed to be identified through the use of fluorescently-labelled probes of high chemical specificity. These molecular and fluorescent probes can provide very powerful tools for localizing regions in which a particular gene is expressed in an organism, or in identifying the location of a particular protein.
