This is awesome! The only limiter here is the resolution, I think this is fantastic for cellular level organelles but it doesn't quite get down to the same resolution something like x-ray diffraction does. There's a huge trade off between resolution and scale that makes it hard to determine things like complex molecular dynamics and how those dynamics influence the broader functions of the cell. That said, excited for more images like this! More data at that scale is always a good thing for researchers.

Title in the version I looked at is Scientists capture how cells trigger inflammation
