The cover picture of this volume presents a multi-faceted combination of structures and organisms to highlight the possibilities of CLSM and µCT. Upper left: growth of the cyanobacterium Desmonostoc muscorum on loofah (CLSM recording of autofluorescence of chlorophyll a (red) and lignin (green)); upper right: brewers' spent grain (µCT recording); lower left: callus cells of Ocimum sanctum Rama (CLSM recording of cells stained with calcofluor white, fluorescein diacetate and propidium iodide); lower right: growth of the cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. on a carrier (Type HXF14KLL, Hel-X; Stöhr GmbH & Co.KG, Markrodach, Germany; µCT recording). These images not only show the beauty of life on a microscopic scale, they also allow the analysis of interactions between agglomerating cells and cells adhering to surfaces. Information about the structure of materials such as loofah, brewers' spent grain or the carrier provide indication of their suitability for specific applications. In summary, a small insight into the possibilities of the presented methods is given here, which outlines a large field of applications.
