Getting a hand up on cellular imaging
Anyone looking to find out the down-and-dirty details of cellular behavior knows how frustrating the process can be. In an ideal world, you would slap your samples on a slide, focus the microscope’s optics just so, and – voilà! – every tiny part and subpart would leap into view. Scores of scientists and engineers over the years have tweaked the resolution of cell imaging systems, using photons...
