Beauty inside a cell
You must see this paper at PLoS ONE, describing the application of a new electron microscopy technique (electron cryotomography) to reconstruct the 3D inner structure of a simple photosynthetic eukaryote, Ostreococcus tauri.
Watch the video (*). See the figures. You can even read the paper (open access).
When science is good, it's great. But when science is good and beautiful, it's wonderful!
