| Method | Electron microscopy alone or coupled with spatial statistics, heterofluorescence and homofluorescence resonance energy transfer, fluorescence quenching, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, raster scan image correlation spectroscopy, and single particle tracking. |
| Comments | The 200 nm upper limit was set to include the surface area (rather than simply the diameter) of the caveola, which was unanimously accepted as a member of the membrane raft family. See BNID 103743, 103579 |
