DESCRIPTION:Understanding the complex interactions of molecular processes 
 underlying the efficient functioning of the human body is one of the main 
 objectives of biomedical research. Scientifically\, it is important that t
 he applied observation methods do not influence the biological system duri
 ng observation. A suitable tool that can cover all of this is optical far-
 field fluorescence microscopy. Yet\, biomedical applications often demand 
 coverage of a large range of spatial and temporal scales\, and/or long acq
 uisition times\, which can so far not all be covered by a single microscop
 e and puts some challenges on microscope infrastructure. Taking immune cel
 l responses and plasma membrane organization as examples\, we outline thes
 e challenges but also give new insights into possible solutions and the po
 tentials of these advanced microscopy techniques\, e.g. for solving long-s
 tanding questions such as of lipid membrane rafts.
