Fluorescence Loss in Photobleaching , or FLIP , is a technique in fluorescence microscopy which can be used to examine the movement or diffusion of molecules inside cell biology cell s or cell membrane membrane s. Typically a cell membrane is labelled with a fluorescent fluorophore dye , and a specific area of the labeled membrane is photobleaching bleached using the beam from a confocal laser scanning microscope . The fluorescence intensity from that region of the membrane is measured over time. Motion of fluorescent molecules into and along the membrane slowly restores the fluorescence in the bleached region, while depleting the fluorescence in other regions by exchange of bleached for unbleached fluorophores . Measurement of the rate of this recovery provides an estimate of the lateral membrane fluidity. Changes in the size and shape of the bleached region can also indicate directional flow along the cell membrane. FLIP is also useful in verifying the continuity of membranous organelles e.g., the Golgi apparatus . A small circumscribed region of the organelle is continuously bleached. As fluorophores diffuse along the membrane into the illuminated spot, they are bleached eventually, the fluorescence of the entire organelle is depleted. It is closely related to another technique, Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching FRAP . The difference between FLIP and FRAP is that FLIP follows the path of the bleached fluorophores, while FRAP follows the recovery of the bleached region. ref name nature review cite journal last1 Lippincott Schwartzl first1 Jennifer last2 Snappl first2 Erik last3 Kenworthy first3 Anne title Studying protein dynamics in living cells journal Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology volume 2 pages 444 456 date June 2001 doi 10.1038 35073068 pmid 11389468 issue 6 ref References references See also Fluorescence microscope Category Microscopy Category Fluorescence Category Cell imaging Category Biochemistry methods Cell biology stub ... more details

This technique has allowed studies of neuronal activity in hundreds of neurons and glial cells within neuronal circuits. Chemical indicators Chemical indicators are small molecules that can chelate calcium ions. All these molecules are based on an EGTA chemical EGTA homologue called BAPTA , with high selectivity for calcium Ca sup 2 sup ions versus magnesium Mg sup 2 sup ions. This group of indicators includes fura 2 , indo 1 , fluo 3 , fluo 4 , Calcium Green 1 . These dyes are generally used with the chelator carboxyl group s masked as acetoxymethyl esters , in order to render the molecule lipophilic and to allow easy entrance into the cell. Once the indicator is in the cell, cellular esterase s will free the carboxyl and the indicator will be able to bind calcium ... used the imaging procedure is generally very similar. The spectral properties of the dye change upon binding to calcium. For example the dye could be fluorescence fluorescent only after binding to calcium ... be viewed using a fluorescence microscope, captured by a CCD camera and analyzed according to intensity ... 9 oclc url http www.sciencedirect.com science bookseries 0091679X doi accessdate Category cell imaging ... more details

A multiphoton fluorescence microscope MFM is a specialized optical microscope . Description The MFM uses pulsed long wavelength light to excite fluorophore s within the specimen being observed. The fluorophore absorbs the energy from two long wavelength photons which must arrive simultaneously in order to excite an electron into a higher energy state, from which it can decay, emitting a fluorescence signal. It differs from traditional fluorescence microscopy in which the excitation wavelength is shorter than the emission wavelength, as the summed energies of two long wavelength exciting photons will produce an emission wavelength shorter than the excitation wavelength. Multiphoton fluorescence microscopy has similarities to confocal laser scanning microscopy . Both use focused laser beams scanned in a raster pattern to generate images, and both have an optical sectioning effect. Unlike confocal microscopes, multiphoton microscopes do not contain pinhole apertures, which give confocal microscopes their optical sectioning quality. The optical sectioning produced by multiphoton microscopes is a result of the point spread function formed where the pulsed laser beams coincide. The multiphoton point spread function is typically dumbbell shaped longer in the x y plane , compared to the upright rugby ball shaped point spread function of confocal microscopes. The longer wavelength, low energy typically infra red excitation lasers of multiphoton microscopes are well suited to use in imaging live cells as they cause less damage than short wavelength lasers, so cells may be observed for longer periods with fewer toxic effects. Many researchers are currently working toward better and higher resolution multiphoton imaging developments.
