Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic granules in fibroblasts, visualized without stains, or labelled with Nile red, Filipin, or anti-LAMP-1 (lysosome-associated membrane protein 1), were imaged using the real-time microscope (RTM). New advances in light microscope technology were applied to detect cytoplasmic granules (RTM-visible granules) and characterize them by imaging contrast, size, shape, cellular distribution, composition, motion...
