Why would a scientist make a glowing green cat? | John Runions | TEDxOxfordBrookesUniversity

John is a cell biologist who uses microscopy to study living cells. The principal technique used in John's lab is laser microscopy. Confocal microscopes enable the study of living cells in a non-invasive way and, when combined with fluorescent protein technology, allow visualisation of incredible details of the way that organelles and proteins interact as cells go about the business of life.
