Its a cool technology. I had a friend working on using expansion microscopy for neuron connectomics research. Apparently the route the lab was taking was introducing mutations to mouse brains that would cause protein expression that would physically color individual neurons at random, then using an optical microscope to view and trace neurons through an expanded sample.
