Abstract

Provided herein, in some aspects, are methods of imaging molecules without a microscope or other specialized equipment, referred to herein as “microscope-free imaging (MFI).” Herein, “molecular instruments” (e.g., DNA-based and protein-based molecules) are used, instead of microscopes, in a “bottom-up” approach for inspecting molecular targets.
