Abstract

Advances in laser-scanning microscopy and the advent of confocal microscopy permitted the development of image correlation spectroscopy (ICS). ICS is an imaging analog of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) optimized for measuring the aggregation state of fluorescently labeled macromolecules on the surface of biological cells. The ICS method entails spatial autocorrelation analysis of fluorescence fluctuations within an image sampled from an area of the sample as well as temporal autocorrelation analysis of fluorescence fluctuations through a time series of images. Together, the spatial/temporal autocorrelation analysis enables measurement of fluorophore concentration, aggregation state and transport properties. ICS was first implemented on a confocal laser-scanning microscope (CLSM) using single photon excitation. More recently we have extended the method for two-photon ICS as well as image cross-correlation spectroscopy (ICCS). ICCS allows measurement of co-localization of non-identical molecules labeled with fluorophores of different emission wavelengths. We present a variety of applications of the ICS and ICCS methods in cellular systems. We will discuss the measurement of the transport and clustering properties of membrane receptors by single photon ICS and two-photon ICCS. As well, we will describe how spatial ICS may be used to quantify the distribution of fluorescently labeled dendritic spines in neurons.
