New imaging platform advances 3D visualization of cellular structures at the nanoscale

Researchers at Rice University have developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale. This platform offers significant advancements in super-resolution microscopy, enabling fast and precise three-dimensional (3D) imaging of multiple cellular structures. By integrating an angled light sheet, a nanoprinted microfluidic system, and advanced computational tools, the platform significantly improves imaging precision and speed, allowing for clearer visualization of how different cellular structures interact at the nanoscale.
