Calcium imaging

a technique that involves the detection and monitoring of changes in intracellular calcium levels in living cells or organisms, providing insights into various physiological and biochemical processes

Examples

1. We can do calcium imaging.

2. We can find out what these cells are doing by using calcium imaging.

3. This led to something called calcium imaging, where dyes were developed that calcium-- when calcium was added, glowed.

4. [Narrator] Until now researchers have been unable to use calcium imaging with specific cells in isolation.
