One microscope, every scale. MOSAIC images life from single molecules to whole organisms: dividing cells, remodeling organelles, regenerating zebrafish, Alzheimer's tissue at the nanoscale, live mouse neural dynamics. Credit: Fu, Liu, Milkie, Ruan et al., Nature Methods (2026).

Congrats to all 49 authors on the publication of our paper on the multimodal MOSAIC microscope, to be found here: nature.com/articles/s41592-0…
A summary with movies I posted nearly a year ago can be found below.
1/ Better late than never, here’s a long thread of threads summarizing our MOSAIC preprint.
If you’re curious about the process by which a new microscope is conceived and brought into the world, this is the thread for you. If you’ve come for eye candy, there’s plenty of that too below.

🔬🔦Check out our ‘Imaging spotlight’ on Volumetric Imaging via Photochemical Sectioning (VIPS) from @Ruixuan3, Srigokul Upadhyayula and colleagues.
VIPS helps researchers scale super resolution imaging to large whole-mount tissues.

Thrilled to share our Science cover! VIPS (volumetric imaging via photochemical sectioning) eliminates working-distance limits for whole-mount, nanoscale imaging. LLSM + photodegradable hydrogel + petabyte-scale compute → axons & myelin across mouse olfactory bulbs (WT vs NPC1).
ALT Cover: 3D WT bulb, wedge-out view; VIPS alternates light-sheet imaging & photochemical sectioning.
