FISH Images Comparison of Conventional Microscopy with Fluorescence microscopy- species differentiation of Achromatium cells living in sediment. Microbial Ecology Group, University of Newcastle.
FISH Image EXAMPLE: • The red cells are Archaea from the ANME-2 group • The green stained cells are sulfate-reducing bacteria related to the Desulfosarcina. Photo courtesy of Victoria J. Orphan, Caltech, Pasadena CA
Real Time PCR • PCR • most sensitive technique available • Two primers means high • technically simple • but difficult to get truly quantitative results using conventional PCR • Real-Time PCR • All of the benefits of PCR with ability to Quantify!!!
