VE-DIC light microscopy and the discovery of kinesin.

Abstract:

:Major advances in science are often tightly coupled with the development of new technology. The discovery of kinesin is an excellent example of this principle. The new technology was video-enhanced differential interference contrast light microscopy, which provided the enormous gain in image contrast needed to detect and measure kinesin-based motility in living cells, cell extracts and in vitro motility assays.
