Cell-attached patch clamp is a patch clamp recording technique used in electrophysiology in which the intracellular integrity of the cell is preserved. Patches are formed using either a ‘loose seal’ (mega ohm resistance) or a ‘tight seal’ (giga ohm resistance) without rupturing the cell membrane. A loose seal is used for recording action potential currents, whereas a tight seal is required for evoking action potentials in the attached cell and for recording resting and synaptic potentials.

Darkfield microscopy is an optical microscopy technique in which illumination light is transmitted through the sample so that it does not directly enter the optics and contrast is generated by the differential scattering of light within the specimen.
- description:
Darkfield microscopy is an optical microscopy technique that generates contrast by differentially filtering scatter and unscattered light. Specifically it transmits scattered light and blocks unscattered light. The effect is to make the areas of a transparent sample that scatter light appear brighter than those that do not scatter light. A dark background is used (i.e. the light source is not directly behind the sample in the optical path) so that unscattered light does not overwhelm the scattered light.

[adapted from [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELISA)]
- description:
This immunoassay utilizes an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
