Projects: 

Plant imaging at the cellular level with high spatial and temporal resolution requires non-invasive and viable imaging methods. We suggest Light Sheet-based Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) to study the dynamics of plant growth at organ, cellular and sub-cellular levels over periods of time, ranging from seconds to days.  During the recording process the plant continues to grow in an upright position with its leaves in the air and its root in the medium while a perfusion system provides fresh medium.  The leaves are illuminated with a standard laboratory light source in order to ensure physiological growth conditions (Maizel & von Wangenheim 2011). With LSFM we are able to quantify the development of lateral root primordia and the diurnal growth rhythm of Arabidopsis thaliana lateral roots.  We apply LSFM at higher spatial and temporal resolution by recording cell divisions and movements of single endosomes in live growing root samples.
