Self-construction

Imaging the self-assembly process: the production of proteins and ribosomal RNA from synthetic DNA strands on a chip leads to the self-assembly of a new ribosome subunit - also on the chip. Bottom left: imaging of DNA strands clustered in several dense brushes in the form of circles, right: fluorescence imaging of subunit cascades formed at the end of the assembly process.
