Microscopy techniques for protocell characterization

Recent advances have witnessed the research progress of synthetic preliminary forms of cell-like entities (protocells) towards understanding the origin of life. Microscopy techniques have been instrumental to study protocells both in structural characterization and biomimetic functions. Advanced mic...
