Did you know that when you image fixed Plasmodium flagella at super-resolution, you can even see where they lie over each other, like strands of spaghetti? I didn't either until this afternoon 🔬

Taken with our Nikon NSPARC confocal, with thanks to Dr Molly Hair and Prof Sue Vaughan for the samples!
