Before and after using MiOS to image genome

Caption

Comparison using a conventional microscope (left) to visualise the structure of NANOG gene, which shows up as a bright green spot vs. using MiOS (right) which can image individual genes. MiOS is roughly ten times better resolution and also details critical aspects of the structure that are not discernible using conventional methods.
