Research from the lab of Matthew Lew at Washington University in St. Louis offers entirely new ways to see the very small.
The research — two papers by PhD students at the McKelvey School of Engineering — was published in the journals Optica and Nano Letters.
They have developed novel hardware and algorithms that allow them to visualize the building blocks of the biological world beyond three dimensions in a way that, until now, wasn’t feasible. After all, cells are 3D objects and full of “stuff” — molecules — that moves around, rotates, spins and tumbles to drive life itself.
