Cell studies of total internal reflection fluorescence: effect of lipid membranes.
The intensity of the fluorescence generated when cell-substratum contacts are studied by total internal reflection fluorescence is calculated. In previous work, some approximations were made in respect of the effect of the lipid membranes. These approximations are removed in the present treatment.
