The microscope has been indispensable to the last century of chromatin structure research. Microscopy techniques have revealed that the three-dimensional location of chromatin is not random but represents a further manifestation of a highly compartmentalized cell nucleus. Moreover, the structure and location of genetic loci display cell type-specific differences and relate directly to the state of differentiation. Advances to bridge imaging with genetic, molecular and biochemical approaches have greatly enhanced our understanding of the interdependence of chromatin structure and nuclear function in mammalian cells. In this review we discuss the current state of chromatin structure research in relationship to the variety of microscopy techniques that have contributed to this field. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
