| Research Abstract |
Since the development of the single molecule imaging technique in Japan, it has been applied to wide areas of researches including in vitro analysis of molecular motors and single molecule measurements of signal transduction at the plasma membrane. However, this method is based on the total internal reflection microscopy, which limited its application to the region closer than 100 nm from the cover glass surface. In this project, we have tried to break this limitation and to observe single molecule deep inside the cell. By the combination of a Nipow-type confocal microscope and a high sensitivity-low noise camera, we have successfully observe the dynamics of single molecule deep inside the cell. We have further applied this technique for the super resolution imaging deep inside the cell.
