During the first funding period, we proposed to adapt and improve a recent microscopy innovation, termed expansion microscopy. This technology is based on conventional immunostaining of the samples, followed by embedding in a plastic structure, which is physically expanded by approximately 4.5-fold. We improved this technology, as proposed, by reaching a 10-fold expansion, and we made this available to the community. We also provided imaging service to multiple projects.
