Several alternative imaging techniques are commonly used in cell biology: 1. Confocal Microscopy: This technique provides high-resolution images of fluorescently labeled cells and tissues, allowing for detailed studies of cellular structures and interactions. 2. Electron Microscopy: Offering even higher resolution than CT scans, electron microscopy can reveal ultrastructural details of cells. 3. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Although typically used for larger structures, MRI can be adapted for cellular imaging with the use of specialized contrast agents.
