Abstract

Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) provides extremely thin optical sectioning with excellent signal-to-noise ratios, which allows for visualization of membrane dynamics at the cell surface with superb spatiotemporal resolution. In this chapter, TIRFM is used to record and analyze exocytosis of single glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) containing vesicles in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
