This seminar will provide an introducti<strong>on</strong> for the n<strong>on</strong>-expert to various new methods of image<br />

correlati<strong>on</strong> spectroscopy (ICS) and their applicati<strong>on</strong> for measurements of protein transport and<br />

interacti<strong>on</strong>s in cells and neur<strong>on</strong>s. An overview of the history and background theory of these<br />

fluctuati<strong>on</strong> microscopy based methods will be presented al<strong>on</strong>g with a descripti<strong>on</strong> of the<br />

microscopy instrumentati<strong>on</strong> and computati<strong>on</strong>al resources required to perform such<br />

measurements. I will specifically cover more recent developments of ICS including spatiotemporal<br />

ICS (STICS), reciprocal or k-space ICS (kICS), and raster-scan ICS (RICS). The<br />

STICS porti<strong>on</strong> will focus <strong>on</strong> its applicati<strong>on</strong> to measuring vector maps of flows of adhesi<strong>on</strong><br />

and migrati<strong>on</strong> related proteins (actin, alpha-actinin, paxillin, integrins, talin) in living cells and<br />

discuss how two color cross-correlati<strong>on</strong> variants can be used to measure interacti<strong>on</strong>s via cotransport.<br />

The kICS part will discuss how this method can avoid complicati<strong>on</strong>s of complex<br />

photophysics of the fluorophore probe and even be used to extract informati<strong>on</strong> from probe<br />

blinking when quantum dot nanoparticles are used [1].<br />
