Imaging single-channel calcium microdomains by total internal reflection microscopy
The microdomains of Ca2+ in the cytosol around the mouth of open Ca2+ channels are the basic `building blocks' from which cellular Ca2+ signals are constructed. Moreover, the kinetics of local [Ca2+] closely reflect channel gating, so their measurement holds promise as an alternative to electro...
