Abstract
The Toponome Imaging System (TIS) is the latest development in automated multidimensional fluorescence microscopy. It is capable of imaging over 100 different molecular components in a single cell or tissue section at continuous intensity levels for the first time. TIS directly addresses protein-network architecture and function in healthy and diseased states—a completely new dimension in the life sciences.
