| contents | Expansion Microscopy is a super-resolution technique in which physically enlarging samples in an isotropic manner increases inter-molecular distances such that nano-scale structures can be resolved using light microscopy. This is particularly useful in neuroscience as many important structures are smaller than the diffraction limit. Since its invention in 2015, a variety of Expansion Microscopy protocols have been generated and applied to advance knowledge in many prominent organisms in neuroscience, including zebrafish, mice, Drosophila, and C. elegans. Here we review the last decade of Expansion Microscopy-enabled advances with a focus on neuroscience. |
