Figure 5: Comparison between ExMM and ExM of E. coli.

(A,B) Pre-expansion images obtained with a benchtop microscope. (C,D) Post-expansion images obtained with a benchtop microscope. Objective: 20X, NA = 0.4. (E,F) Post-expansion images obtained with a mini-microscope, where bacteria were stained using a monoclonal antibody to lipopolysaccharide. (G,H) Post-expansion images obtained with a mini-microscope, where bacteria were stained using a polyclonal antibody to E. coli. Scale bars: 5 μm for (A,C,E,G); 2 μm for (B,D,F,H).
