Single cell adhesion strength assessed with variable-angle total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy

We propose a new strategy to evaluate adhesion strength at the single cell level. This approach involves variable-angle total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy to monitor in real time the topography of cell membranes, i.e. a map of the membrane/substrate separation distance. According to t...
