Cinemicrography in Cell Biology focuses on factual information on the cine apparatus and techniques, special methods of analysis possible only with the use of cine equipment, and data on tissues and cells derived from permanent records of film strips. The selection first offers information on modular design for time-lapse cinemicrography and general design of a comparative cinemicrographic equipment for tissue culture, including cine-film abstracting and general design and construction of cinemicrograph. The text then ponders on instrumentation for cinemicrography from a general purpose viewpoint and flying spot television microscopy. Discussions focus on ultraviolet microbeam irradiation combined with visible light phase-contrast television microscopy; ultraviolet flying spot microscope; and double-beam visible and ultraviolet flying spot television microscopy. The text elaborates on flying spot cytospectrophotometry of living cells; use of interference microscope for the study of cell movements and the quantitative analysis of changes in growing cells; and dynamics of the development of myogenic tissue under conditions of explantation and transplantation. The selection is highly recommended for readers interested in the use of cinemicrography in cell biology.
