Abstract

The majority of gels exhibit nanoscale spatial variations in crosslink density. We present the first 3D super-resolution microscopy images of dye tagged cross-link distributions in microgels and hydrogels. The morphology of nanoscale features never imaged previously in microgels, are revealed.
