In a first for imaging, new microscope captured details, 3D motion of molecules in liquid

On Feb. 16, 2022, the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, announced that it had developed an imaging method that provides an unprecedented look at a molecule as it spins and rolls through liquid, providing the most comprehensive picture yet of molecular dynamics collected using optical microscopes. The research was published in a special issue of the Journal of Physical Chemistry B.
