3-D Structured illumination microscopy (SIM), a super-resolution optical microscopy technique that allows an 8-fold increase in volume resolution, is providing new views of the cellular substructure of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.
Bacteria outnumber all other known organisms by far so there is considerable interest in characterizing them in detail and in measuring their diversity, evolution, and dynamics. Here, we present a system capable of identifying rod-like bacteria (bacilli) correctly in high resolution phase contrast images. We use a probabilistic model together with several purpose-designed image features in order to...
The dynamics of individual bacteria underlies the manifestation of complex multicellular behaviours such as biofilm development and colony expansion. High resolution movies of expanding bacterial colonies reveal intriguing patterns of cell motions. A quantitative understanding of the observed behaviour in relation to the bacteria's own motile apparatus and to hydrodynamic forces requires that bacteria...
