Figure 1

Peripheral boundaries around animal and plant cells. (A) Schematic model of peripheral boundaries around an animal cell migrating on a glass surface. (B) Schematic model of peripheral boundaries around an intact plant cell. (C) In cells without cell walls (animal cells or protoplasts of plant cells), a typical EW field with a constant depth of illumination forms in the cytosol. (D) A VAEM device can produce a variable depth of illumination in an intact plant cell. PM: plasma membrane; CW: cell wall; EW: evanescent wave; TIRFM: total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy; VAE: variable-angle epifluorescence.
