We outline our approach for studying the selective autophagy of peroxisomes (pexophagy), using fluorescence microscopy in tissue cell culture models. Ratiometric reporters, which specifically localize to peroxisomes, allow a quantitative assessment of pexophagy in fixed and live cells, as well as whole organisms. We discuss chemical and physiological inducers of pexophagy and any overlap with the induction of mitophagy.
