Innovative microscopy technique reveals secrets of lipid synthesis inside cells

South Korean researchers led by Director Cho Minhaeng at the IBS Center for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics (IBS CMSD) have made a pivotal discovery in the field of cellular microscopy. The team has successfully developed two-color infrared photothermal microscopy (2C-IPM), a novel technology designed to investigate neutral lipids within lipid droplets of living cells.
