Cilia are found in eukaryotic species ranging from single-celled organisms, such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, to humans, but not in plants. The ability to respond to repellents and/or attractants, regulate cell proliferation and differentiation and provide cellular mobility are just a few examples of how crucial cilia are to cells and organisms. Over 30 distinct rare disorders generally known as ciliopathy are caused by abnormalities or functional impairments in cilia and cilia-related compartments.

- The protocol outlines how to use fluorescence microscopy to visualize a specific component related to intraflagellar transport in the organism Caenorhabditis elegans.
- It is divided into three main phases: pre-imaging preparations, image acquisition preparations, and post-imaging analyses, making it easier to follow.
- This method enables the measurement of the speed and frequency of moving particles in live cells, with more detailed instructions available in the referenced study by Cevik et al. (2021).
