Digital Holographic microscopy:

 

2.5 MB MP4     1.4 MB AVI

Inline holographic movie and 3D reconstruction of a population of swimming E. coli.
(not yet published)
 

 

3.7 MB MP4     2.5 MB AVI

Digital re-focussing through the 3D volume reconstructed from one frame of an in-line holographic movie of a population of swimming E. coli. 70 microns focal depth in 0.5 micron steps.  The movie starts in the plane of the hologram.

Bacterial Flagellar motor:

 

250 kB AVI

1 micron beads spinning on E. coli flagellar motors, real speed.
paper (first of many to use this method)
 

 

2.6 MB AVI

A 200 nm fluorescent bead spinning with 26 steps per revolution on a sodium-driven chimeric flagellar motor. 30x slower than real speed, video recorded at 2400 frames per second.
paper
 

 

18 MB MOV

A 100 nm gold bead spinning at 900 Hz on a sodium-driven chimeric flagellar motor. 2000x slower than real speed, video recorded at 100,000 frames per second using laserdark-field microscopy.
paper
 

     

640 kB MPG             140 kB MPG

E. coli cells expressing GFP-labelled motor protein MotB. The same two cells are shown in fluorescence (left, slowed x2) and bright-filed (right, real speed). Photobleaching of the motor allows counting of the number of MotB molecules
