Question
You are trying to track a motor protein
dynein movement on a microtubule in a
cell using GFP-tagged dynein (GFP-
dynein). The motor proteins move very
fast on the microtubules. Which type of
microscopy will you choose to study this
fast dynamic event?
Two photon microscopy
Total Internal Reflection (TIRF) microscopy
O Point scanning confocal microscopy
Spinning disc confocal microscopy

Step 1: Microtubules

Microtubules serve as the arena for dynein motor proteins, and these proteins exhibit rapid movements. Capturing their high-speed actions necessitates the selection of an appropriate microscopy approach.
