Calibrating spatiotemporal models of microbial communities to microscopy data: A review
Fig 2
Single-cell measurement techniques for microbial communities.
(a) Flow cytometers can measure cell fluorescence and morphology in large sample sizes. (b) Time-lapse microscopy allows for direct visualization of physical cell–cell interactions and quantitative measurement of single-cell characteristics over time. (c) End-point microscopy can illustrate large-scale spatial patterns and features of cell arrangements in 2 or 3 dimensions.
