Another dimension...

Have you heard about this work? It reports the first 3D reconstruction of a complete eukaryotic cell volume, the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, by electron tomography. How amazing!

This high-resolution, three-dimensional image of a eukaryotic cell was created by researchers led by Claude Antony of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany. They scanned 250-nanometre-thick slices of frozen fission yeast and assembled the scans into a computer-generated 3D image.
