Network fixation expansion microscopy
Expansion microscopy (ExM) physically magnifies preserved biological specimens by using a specimen-permeating hydrogel to pull biomolecules, such as proteins, apart from each other. ExM protocols exhibit a tension between the need to initially fix proteins to each other during sample preservation, to retain proteins and their nanoscale organization, and the need to separate proteins from each…
