Fluorescence biomembrane force probe

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Fluorescence biomembrane force probe

Micrographs from an experiment using the fluorescence biomembrane force probe to interrogate a single molecule on a live platelet. The epifluorescence images (pseudo-colored to reflect the calcium level) of the platelet are superimposed onto the bright-field images. The upper panel shows a platelet with low calcium inside. The lower panel shows calcium firing in the platelet. (Credit: Lining (Arnold) Ju)
