Caption

At time 0, the numbers of fluorescent molecules are about the same in both movies. The number decreases rapidly in the video on the left which employed a conventional observation method, whereas the number of fluorescent spots decreases very slowly in the video shown on the right, which was recorded using the newly developed method. See the spots jostle around in the cell membrane.
