The sinuous structures shown here are made of DNA, a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. The instrument used reveals DNA’s helix structure, seen in these images as a striped pattern. These images were collected with Sophia Hohlbauch from Asylum Research.
