Preface Cell biology is the study of the structure and function of cells, cellular organelles, and subcellular structures. Originally, cellular functions were studied without a detailed knowledge of the structures involved and structures were described without an understanding of their function. Imaging techniques that simultaneously studied structure and function or at least correlated function with structure eventually closed this disparity. Several technologies have been greatly responsible for this progress by providing high-resolutio
