MIT and Broad Institute researchers break diffraction barrier in super-resolution microscopy | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology
A new microscopic imaging technology called U-STORM lets scientists view molecular structures in extreme, subatomic detail — about 1,000 times clearer than traditional dyes — while making the microscope process much simpler.
