Visualization of bacterial flagella by video-enhanced light microscopy
J Bacteriol.
1991 Jan.
Abstract
We have imaged individual flagellar filaments of Escherichia coli, a motile Streptococcus sp., and Rhizobium meliloti by video-enhanced differential interference-contrast microscopy (Nomarski DIC) and computer-based image processing. This approach has advantages over existing methods in that filaments on living cells can be seen over their entire lengths.
