Fred Hutchinson scientists develop a better way to look at cells

Medical researchers attempts to zoom in on cells are often hampered by practical challenges: they have limited sample size, in which it's not atypical to lose about 90 percent of the information. By the time they get the remaining tissue to the lab there's only so much they can learn from the cells. And they have to scale what they do learn to thousands of more cells in order to make a diagnosis.
