Spin microscopy's heritage, achievements, and prospects

Achieving 3-dimensional, in-depth, atomic-resolution biological microscopy of undenatured specimens is one of the oldest dreams of science, and for good reason: it unites the thrilling prospect of opening vast new scientific frontiers with cutting-edge technical challenges from every domain of mathematics, science, and engineering.
