It requires live-cell fluorescence imaging capability. The abstract does not specify reporters, labels, or microscope configurations.; requires fluorescence imaging workflows for live-cell observation
The abstract indicates that fully grasping junctional complexity also requires nanoscale architectural analysis, implying live fluorescence microscopy alone is insufficient for that goal. No specific resolution limit is quantified.; the abstract implies additional nanoscale methods are needed to fully grasp junctional complexity
