It's tricky but we've done it using the Photonic Instruments Micropoint FRAP laser and collecting widefield images with a Nikon TE2000 (100x 1.4 NA). You definitely need a diffraction limited spot.

Has anyone tried FRAP in bacteia? I have a user who wants to FRAP GFP. We have an Olympus 1000 and I'm not sue we can get the spot size small enough. Hints/Comments/Discouraging words?
