| Research Abstract |
We developed 3D-tracking microscopy by a new image processing algorithm to achieve high-speed autofocusing of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a motile green alga. Using this algorithm and high-speed visual feedback, we could pursue a single Chlamydomonas cell to keep it at the center of the field and depth of view, and visualize the two flagella continuously along with tracking it at high spatiotemporal resolution.
