In this work we derive theoretical expressions for the FRAP measured on a liquid suspension of vacuoles labelled by a fluorescent probe bound to the surface membrane of these vacuoles. The bleaching laser beam creates an inhomogeneity in the surface concentration of the probe molecules. We consider the case in which the randomization of these probe molecules on the vacuole surface occurs much faster than the fluorescent recovery due to the vacuole diffusion. For a given value of the bleaching parameter K, we found that the bleaching fraction of the fluorescent molecules and the fluorescence recovery rate are decreasing functions of the square ratio of the vacuole to the laser beam radius of the FRAP instrument.
