Imaging specific proteins in the ultrastructural context largely relies on correlative light/electron microscopy, but fluorophore incompatibility and registration issues limit its use. Here the authors develop an expansion microscopy method with pan-labeling of the proteome to obtain EM-equivalent light microscopy images.
