What are the Challenges of Live Cell Imaging in Toxicology?
Despite its advantages, live cell imaging in toxicology also presents challenges. One major issue is the potential for phototoxicity, where the imaging process itself may alter or damage cells, affecting the accuracy of results. To minimize this, researchers must carefully optimize imaging conditions, such as light intensity and exposure time. Additionally, the complexity and cost of live cell imaging systems can be prohibitive for some laboratories.
