Tetra-gel enables superior accuracy in combined super-resolution imaging and expansion microscopy

Abstract The accuracy of expansion microscopy (ExM) depends on the structural preservation of samples embedded in a hydrogel. However, it has been unknown to what extent gel embedding alters the molecular positions of individual labeled sites. Here, we quantified the accuracy of gel embedding by usi...
