Study of regular intracellular and membrane processes in neurons by laser interference microscopy.
Regular fluctuations in the height of phase profile of isolated neuron were studied by laser interference microscopy. The resultant spectra of frequencies of changes in the phase profile height indicate regular local changes in the optical density and/or geometry of neurons. The frequency spectra for the central and pri-membrane regions of the cells are different.
