Yale University researchers have developed a new Microscopy technique that allows them to have a 3D view of the insides of entire cells.
Dubbed*whole-cell 4Pi single-molecule switching na**scopy (W-4PiSMSN), the method improves on a technique called 4Pi that uses two objectives to provide a 3D version of Super-resolution microscopy. It allows researchers to pick specific structures to look at and the team that developed the tech**logy has already visualized the endoplasmic reticulum, bacteriophages, mitochondria, nuclear pore complexes, primary cilia, Golgi-apparatus-associated COPI vesicles, and mouse spermatocyte synaptonemal complexes.
Here’s a video produced by the Microscopy technique of 19 mouse chromosomes:
