“…Some other pollen types were earlier studied with CLSM, such as the commonest 3‐colpate and 3‐colporate pollen types (Liu et al. , ; Castro et al ., ; Gavrilova, , ,b; Sivaguru et al ., , ; Mander & Punyacena, ), monoporate poaceous pollen (Salih et al ., ; Sivaguru et al ., , ; Mander & Punyacena, ), sulcate pollen (Castro et al ., ), porate pollen and pollen amassed in polyads (Gavrilova, ), and the Croton‐ pollen type (Sivaguru et al ., , ). Saccate and nonsaccate types were studied among pollen grains of modern gymnosperms (Castro et al ., ; Gavrilova, ; Mander & Punyacena, ).…”

We have tested possibilities and limitations of confocal laser scanning microscopy to study the morphology of pollen and spores and inner structure of sporoderms. As test objects, we used pollen grains of the modern angiosperm Ribes niveum (Grossulariaceae) and Datura metel (Solanaceae), fossil angiosperm pollen grains of Pseudointegricorpus clarireticulatum and Wodehouseia spinata dated to the Late Cretaceous, fossil gymnosperm pollen grains of Cycadopites-type dated to the Middle Jurassic, and fossil megaspores Maexisporites rugulaeferus, M. grosstriletus, and Trileites sp. dated to the Early Triassic. For comparative purpose, we studied the same objects with application of conventional light, scanning electron (to entire pollen grains and spores or to semithin sections of their walls), or transmission electron microscopy. The resolution of confocal microscope is much lower than that of electron microscopes, as are its abilities to reconstruct the surface patterns and inner structure. On the other hand, it can provide information that is unreachable by other microscopical methods. Thus, the structure of endoapertures in angiosperm pollen grains can be directly observed. It is also helpful in studies of asymmetrical pollen and pollen grains bearing various appendages and having complicated exine structure, because rotation of 3-D reconstructions allows one to examine all sides and structures of the pollen grain. The exact location of all visible and concealed structures in the sporoderm can be detected; this information helps to describe the morphology and inner structure of pollen grains and to choose necessary directions of further ultrathin sectioning for a transmission electron microscopical study. In studies of fossil pollen grains that are preserved in clumps and stuck to cuticles, confocal microscope is useful in determining the number of apertures in individual pollen grains. This can be done by means of virtual sections through 3-D reconstructions of pollen grains. Fossil megaspores are too large and too thick-walled objects for a confocal study; however, confocal microscope was able to reveal a degree of compression of fossil megaspores, the presence of a cavity between the outer and inner sporoderm layers, and to get some information about sporoderm inner structure.

The aim of this study was to assess nucleo-cytoplasmic protein localization to better understand the exact intracellular localization of viral proteins involved with infections. Having determined the general protein localization of hepatitis B virus P22 precore protein, the aim was to more specifically resolve its intracellular organization.This was done using both laser scanning microscopy and Airyscan techniques. Using a 63× objective, the resolution obtained with Airyscan was increased by 1.5-fold as compared to confocal microscopy (p value <.00001).

Fluorescence standards allow for quality control and for the comparison of data sets across instruments and laboratories in applications of quantitative fluorescence. For example, users of microscopy core facilities can expect a homogenous and time‐invariant illumination and an uniform detection sensitivity, which are prerequisites for imaging analysis, tracking or fluorimetric pH or Ca2+‐concentration measurements. Similarly, confirming the three‐dimensional (3‐D) resolution of optical sectioning microscopes calls for a regular calibration with a standardized point source. The test samples required for such measurements are typically different ones, they are often expensive and they depend much on the very microscope technique used. Similarly, the ever‐increasing choice among microscope techniques and geometries increases the demand for comparison across instruments. Here, we advocate and demonstrate the multiple uses of a surprisingly versatile and simple 3‐D test sample that can complement existing and much more expensive calibration samples: commercial tissue paper labeled with a fluorescent highlighter pen. We provide relevant sample characteristics and show examples ranging from the sub‐μm to cm scale, acquired on epifluorescence, confocal, image scanning, two‐photon (2P) and light‐sheet microscopes.
