Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a new light sheet microscope and measurement application of a single molecule imaging in a eukaryotic cell. As our light sheet microscope, it was able to measure the single fluorescent molecule in whole body of Mammalian cell. And we demonstrated real time imaging for simultaneous measurement of mRNA and protein expression in a yeast cell. In the future, it is expected to be applied for various cells. We will improve our microscope for high throughput applications as like Drug screening and library analysis.
