. It has long been a dream of cell biologists to catch a glimpse of the molecular architecture inside living cells, so far largely an uncharted territory. In addition to relatively robust molecular machines, these are undoubtedly many ensembles of macromolecules which jointly perform vital functions, but are held together by forces too weak to withstand conventional biochemical isolation and purification procedures[1,2].
