...The viscosity of the cytosol of other cell lines has been investigated in a variety of experiments (Kao et al., 1993; Luby-Phelps et al., 1986, 1987, 1993; Partikian et al., 1998; Seksek et al., 1997; Swaminathan et al., 1996, 1997) and was found to be 2.6 to tenfold higher than in aqueous solution....

...Because mitochondrial matrix–targeted GFP can diffuse freely with the rate of 15–19 msec (Partikian et al., 1998) in normal tubular mitochondria in HeLa cells, the delayed response of ROI 2 indicates that it is likely connected with a mitochondrion located within ROI 1 by abnormally thin…...

...As discussed by Axelrod et al. (1976) for conventional two-dimensional spot photobleaching, this approximation is reasonably valid for practical laser/lens systems; the same considerations would apply for bleaching of long thin mitochondria where bleach profile is nearly constant across the thin…...
