Confocal microscopy and cellular bioinformatics.

An exhaustive description of most biological data requires, besides a set of analytic information, an eidetic representation of the data itself. In this paper, two topics are presented. The first one is confocal microscopy, an advanced technique to produce multidimensional cellular and subcellular structures images.
