Fluorescence recovery after
photobleaching of GFP - tagged wild - type and S39A fascin showed that dephosphorylated fascin underwent rapid cycles of association to and dissociation from actin filaments in filopodia, with t (1/2) < 10 s.
Furthermore 3i proprietary TTL Synchronization electronics and SlideBook software allow blanking of the illuminating laser light in the time between camera exposures resulting in the minimum possible unwanted
photobleaching of cells.
