Abstract
Consisting of viscous phospholipid bilayer, different kinds of proteins and various nano/micrometer-sized domains, cell membranes have proven to play very important roles in ensuring the stability of the intracellular environment and order of cellular signal transductions. The developments of modern cell biology, immunology, and medicine urge us to explore more precise cell membrane structures and detailed functions of biomolecules on cell membranes. Due to the minuscule size of biomolecules and their clusters on cell membranes (varying from several nanometers to hundreds of nanometers), a high resolution microscopy is needed to explore the cell membrane biomolecule distribution.
