Total internal reflection microscopy studies on colloidal particle endocytosis by living cells

The purpose of this study was to develop novel optical microscopy techniques in order to investigate colloidal drug particle endocytosis by mammalian cells. A total internal reflection microscope (TIRM) was initially developed for high resolution cellular imaging. TIRM is a non-fluorescent imaging t...
