Caption

Scanning electron microscope images of suspended DNA (A to D, lower to higher magnification). Double strand DNA molecules deposited on superhydrophobic devices result in well tense suspended fibers in between micro-pillars. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Aug. 28, 2015, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by M. Marini at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia, and colleagues was titled, 'The structure of DNA by direct imaging.'
