The post‐Golgi vesicle‐mediated trafficking of a membrane protein, transforming growth factor β receptor II (T β RII) was imaged by liver‐cell fluorescence microscopy. Alternative imaging between total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) and quasi‐TIRFM modes facilitated the visualization of intracellular T β RII containing vesicles, as well as their moving towards cell membrane upon ligand stimulation. It provides a new approach to study protein transportation. (Picture: Wangxi Luo et al., pp. 788–798 in this issue)
