Abstract
A microscope is described which automatically remains focused on individual motile bacteria. The container in which the bacteria are suspended is moved in such a way that the position of a given organism remains fixed; x, y, and z drive signals provide a measure of its displacement relative to the suspension medium. Records are shown of the motion of Escherischia coli.Keywords
