From Basic to Clinical Research

Intravital microscopy (IVM) has come a long way from the time of Rudolph Wagner, who imaged the rollover of leukocytes in the leg of a live frog for the very first time (Wagner 1839). Indeed, the last two decades have witnessed a series of major technological breakthroughs that have transformed IVM from an “exotic” imaging technique into a powerful approach that has enabled biologists to dissect several processes in living animals at a molecular level and to extract accurate quantitative information.
