Quantifying Molecular Dynamics with Dynamics Profiler & Spectral RICS
Ink on glossy paper, showing cracks formed during drying process, 3D surface topography, EC Epiplan-Apochromat 50x/0.95, original stack: 179.7 μm x 179.7 μm x 35.8 μm, 512 x 512 pixels x 185 sections

In this webinar, we will explore how modern confocal microscopy workflows allow researchers to go beyond static images and investigate molecular dynamics directly within living cells. Two powerful approaches will be highlighted: Dynamics Profiler and Spectral Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy (Spectral RICS).

The Dynamics Profiler provides a fast and intuitive way to visualize differences in molecular mobility within confocal images, enabling researchers to rapidly identify regions where proteins exhibit distinct diffusion behaviors.

Building on this, Spectral RICS enables quantitative measurements of molecular diffusion, concentration, and interactions. By combining fluctuation analysis with spectral detection, Spectral RICS allows reliable multi-color measurements while minimizing artifacts caused by spectral overlap.
Through practical examples and real biological applications, this session will demonstrate how these techniques can transform confocal microscopy experiments into quantitative tools for studying molecular behavior inside cells.
