Photo (above): In situ integrative cryoimaging bridges distinct spatial resolutions to provide a comprehensive, multi-scale understanding of biology. The technique correlates high-resolution structural models, which reveal the near-atomic details of individual macromolecules, with their broader functional environments. This integration provides a detailed view of the cellular landscape and maps the intricate intracellular and intercellular context, ultimately revealing how biological components are organized and interact within native cells.
