Abstract
Biological systems are distinguished from inanimate objects by the emergent behavior of their constituent parts. Understanding physiological and pathological processes requires imaging the ordered arrangement of molecules in an organelle, of organelles in a cell, and of cells in a tissue. Polarization of light is a unique probe of architectural order across spatial and temporal scales. Innovations in polarized light microscopy and integration with computational methods for reconstruction and image analysis now enable scalable analysis of order within molecular assemblies, cells, and tissues. In this webinar, I will discuss recent advances in and new opportunities created by computational microscopy of order.
Learning Objectives:
- Dynamic order underpins physiological and pathological processes
- Polarized light microscopy reports sub-resolution order across scales
- Integration of computation enables retrieval of physical properties
