Innovations in modern microscopy revealed astrocyte fine-process structure and physiological activities in concert with neurons and blood vessels.
Modern microscopy for astrocytes has expanded from intrinsic optical tissue analysis to include chemical staining, immunostaining, Ca2+ imaging, optogenetics, and Raman-based chemical composition analysis.
The review covers modern microscopy approaches for studying astrocytes.
The evolution of modern microscopy is attributed to improved spatiotemporal resolution, expanded molecular and physiological targets, advances in optics and information technology, and probe inventions from organic chemistry and molecular biology.
