Abstract
The present invention relates to an enlarged sample of interest for microscopy and methods for enlarging a sample of interest and the optical imaging of a sample of interest with resolution better than the classical microscopy diffraction limit, by synthesizing a swellable polymer network within a sample, it can be physically expanded, resulting in physical magnification.
