Technique reveals inner lives of red blood cells:
“One of our goals is create 3D tomographic images of the internal structure of a cell,” said Michael Feld, MIT professor of physics and director of the Spectroscopy Lab. “The beauty is that with this technique, you can study dynamical processes in living cells in real time.”
Example of what that will look like: The Inner Life of a Cell - Animation - ok actually that level of detail may still be fairly far away
