Complete camera overview of EM grid recorded with 3 channels. Inserts displaying the positions, where superresolved 3D confocal images were recorded. 3D renderings of these positions are shown in the zoomed inserts. Fluorescence channels (nuclei by Hoechst, blue; mitochondria by MitoTracker Green, green; lipid Droplets by Bodipy and Crimson Beads, red). Width of a grid square is 90 ?m, width of a grid bar is 35 ?m. Samples kindly provided by Ievgeniia Zagoriy, Mahamid-Group, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany.
