(A) Schematic of the TIRFM setup; (B) TIRF principle. Total internal reflection occurs at the glass cover slip surface generating an evanescent field, which decays with increasing distance from the surface. This leads to a small excitation layer above the glass slide, reducing background fluorescence. Sample and evanescent field are drawn schematically and are not to scale with the dimensions of the objective.
