What do you find the most fascinating about your research?
The possibility to elucidate yet undiscovered in such a basic process as is protein synthesis.
What do you see as a problem in live-cell research?
To ensure proper conditions for cells to survive (phototoxicity, temperature, CO2) and image acquisition speed (fast enough).
Could you describe your experience using Q-Phase?
The biggest advantages of using Q-PHASE include relatively robust data recruitment, automation of the acquisition process, combination of fluorescence and QPI, and high resolution.
