* Single - molecule fluorescence imaging by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy ( IUPAC Technical Report )
Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) is a popular illumination technique in microscopy, with many applications in cell and molecular biology and biophysics. The chief advantage of the technique is the high contrast that can be achieved by restricting fluorescent excitation to a thin layer. We summarise the optical theory needed to understand the technique and various aspects required f...
متن کاملSingle-shot super-resolution total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy
20 We demonstrate a simple method for combining instant structured illumination microscopy (SIM) 21 with total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF), doubling the spatial resolution of TIRF 22 (down to 115 +/13 nm) and enabling imaging frame rates up to 100 Hz over hundreds of time points. 23 We apply instant TIRF-SIM to multiple live samples, achieving rapid, high contrast super-r...
متن کاملTotal internal reflection fluorescence microscopy for single-molecule imaging in living cells.
Marvelous background rejection in total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIR-FM) has made it possible to visualize single-fluorophores in living cells. Cell signaling proteins including peptide hormones, membrane receptors, small G proteins, cytoplasmic kinases as well as small signaling compounds have been conjugated with single chemical fluorophore or tagged with green fluorescent...
متن کاملSubcellular and single-molecule imaging of plant fluorescent proteins using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM)
Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) has been proven to be an extremely powerful technique in animal cell research for generating high contrast images and dynamic protein conformation information. However, there has long been a perception that TIRFM is not feasible in plant cells because the cell wall would restrict the penetration of the evanescent field and lead to scatte...
متن کاملOrientation of the myosin light chain region by single molecule total internal reflection fluorescence polarization microscopy.
To study the orientation and dynamics of myosin, we measured fluorescence polarization of single molecules and ensembles of myosin decorating actin filaments. Engineered chicken gizzard regulatory light chain (RLC), labeled with bisiodoacetamidorhodamine at cysteine residues 100 and 108 or 104 and 115, was exchanged for endogenous RLC in rabbit skeletal muscle HMM or S1. AEDANS-labeled actin, f...
