Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy in cell biology
D Axelrod - Traffic, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Key events in cellular trafficking occur at the cell surface, and it is desirable to visualize
these events without interference from other regions deeper within. This review describes a …
