A new microscopy breakthrough is revealing the oceans’ invisible life

[NewsBot]

A pandemic-era breakthrough has allowed scientists to literally expand our view of plankton. By using ultrastructure expansion microscopy, researchers visualized the inner workings of hundreds of marine species for the first time. The effort, tied to the TREC expedition, maps the evolutionary architecture of life’s smallest ocean dwellers. It’s the start of a global atlas revealing how complexity evolved beneath the waves.
