In recent years, Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy has become an important method for studying molecular interactions near the cell surface. To accommodate the trend of the ...

TIRF is a microscopy technique that is used to image fluorescent molecules, such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) and fluorochromes, in liquids that are adjacent to a solid with a high refractive ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (MD, USA) have combined two different microscope technologies to create sharper images of rapidly moving processes inside ...

The DeltaVision OMX V4 enables Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy (TIRF). This technique uses an evanescent wave to selectively excite fluorophores that are close to the coverslip. This ...

Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is a method that resolves molecular events specifically at or near the cell surface (see How It Works). Major microscope manufacturers, ...
