Fluorescent microscope system to monitor real-time interactions between focused ultrasound, echogenic drug delivery vehicles, and live cell membranes

► We have developed a new instrument to monitor microbubble interactions with cells. ► Combines high speed videography and fluorescence microscopy with focused ultrasound. ► Use of fluorescent dyes in membranes to track debris formation. ► Allows many different phenomena and their interaction with live cells to be studied.
