Among these techniques, interferometric scattering (iSCAT) microscopy stands out for its ability to detect nanoscopic objects with exceptional sensitivity, speed, and resolution. In this talk, I will introduce the principles and capabilities of iSCAT microscopy and highlight its advantages for live-cell imaging. Through examples including virus–membrane interactions, intracellular transport, and cell nuclear dynamics, I will illustrate how iSCAT provides new insights into dynamic cellular processes. I will conclude by discussing future directions and the growing potential of label-free iSCAT microscopy in bioimaging. Place:S101, Gongguan Campus, NTNU |
