摘要: Total-internal-reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy provides high optical-sectioning capability and a good signal-contrast ratio for structures near the surfaces of cells. In recent years, several improvements have been developed, such as variable-angle TIRF (VA-TIRF) spinning (sp-TIRF), which permit quantitative image analysis address non-uniform scattering fringes, respectively. Here, we present dual-color DMD-based shadowless-illuminated (siva-TIRF) system that uniform illumination field. By adjusting incidence angle illuminating laser on back focal plane (BFP) objective, can rapidly illuminate biological samples in layers various thicknesses or hollow-cone epi-fluorescence mode. Compared with other methods accomplishing VA-TIRF/sp-TIRF illumination, our is simple to build cost-effective, it optimal multi-plane images. showing spatiotemporal correlated movement clathrin-coated microtubule filaments from live cells, demonstrate cortical microtubules are important spatial regulators structures. Moreover, be used prove superb axial information three-dimensional plasma membrane within
