The cover picture illustrates the tracking of organelles driven by molecular motors in a living cell with microsecond time resolution and nanometer spatial precision. In their article S. X. Xie et al. (page 707) show that by imaging the strongly scattered light from endocytosed gold nanoparticles (GNPs), individual steps of kinesin and dynein—the molecular motors transporting organelles along microtubules—can be resolved.
