worm immobilization

[Hanna Fares]

To all,

	I am curious as to whether anyone has developed techniques for 
immobilizing live worms on slides for the purpose of doing time-lapse 
microscopy.  For example, to follow the behavior of a GFP-tagged 
protein in a cell over a considerable amount of time (30 min-hours).  I 
am aware that 10 mm levamisole was very effectively used to study the 
rate of transport along cilia of neurons (JCB 147, 519-530), though 
these are thin structures and the time scale is fairly short.
	Thank you for your time.  Please send your responses to me and I will 
collate them into one file that i will post.
