| Method |
Video-enhanced differential interference contrast (DIC) |
| Comments |
The discovery and initial characterization of IFT
depended on the use of video-enhanced differential interference contrast (DIC)
microscopy to visualize the movement of 500-nm particles along axonemes of
paralyzed flagella mutants of Chlamydomonas, at rates of 2.0 µm/s from base to
tip and 3.5 µm/s from tip to base (primary sources). |
