Advanced Microscopy Methods to Capture Molecular-Scale Phenomena in Living Systems

Peering through a homemade instrument – toy-like by today’s standards – the Dutch tradesman Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) first observed a dizzying menagerie of lifeforms, invisible to the naked eye. Since then, scientists have steadily refined the field of microscopy, achieving spectacular results at ever-tinier scales.
