This, go over to Vimeo and watch the videos and read the original announcement. It is pretty cool.

Very. Wow!

Since that announcement is (a) a more original source, (b) arguably more substantive, and (c) doesn't have a breathy title, we changed the url to it from http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/20....

The HHMI page is still a press release. The peer reviewed article is published in Science here: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/346/6208/1257998

I am surprised that the paper is not linked in the press release.

I wished any website had a summary and highlights section at the top. Very effective.

Amazing! This will greatly advance the research in some biomedical fields, like neural and glia development, etc. I wish I had the microscopes when i was doing researches in biomedicine.

Wow, effusive. Personally, I would probably choose to wait more than 1 day before seeing if a given paper has "revolutionized" an industry.

Have you looked through the videos?

I like microscope tech and have been following a little some of the structured light stuff. With this, frankly, I now need new pants.

Betzig is the top of the field (got a Nobel), but this is old news. So you are right that the article is nonsense, but for the wrong reasons :-)

Are they using imagine recognition/prediction to help resolve the outline and depth perception of complex molecular structures?

He must be having a lot of fun.
