H. Jiang and co-workers bridged the visualization gap between 3D optical microscopy and 3D electron microscopy by demonstrating the quantitative 3D imaging of a whole unstained cell by X-ray diffraction microscopy at a resolution of 50-60 nm. Subcellular structures and organelles could be identified and the resolution can be even further improved by cryotechnology.
