I came across this paper. nature.com/articles/s41587-022
"By blue-shifting the beam and separating by on/off switching, individual fluorophores bound to a strand are localized with σ = 4.7 Å, corresponding to a fraction of the fluorophore size, with only 2,000 detected ."
This image showing resolution below the size of the fluorophore leaves me speechless.
The paper features images of , , synaptic , () and

One of the best thing about (IMO) is the ability to present your 3D models as gorgeous images.

I've recently been learning to use @Blender to render some of my structures.

This image shows part of a protein called (grey surface) which coordinates a Calcium ion (glowing Cyan sphere) to bind to a polysaccharide (sugar) called (chemical structure).
