It’s the most famous corkscrew in history. Now an electron microscope has captured the famous Watson-Crick double helix in all its glory, by imaging threads of DNA resting on a silicon bed of nails.

Electron microscopes, too, can see DNA in cells, and DNA sequencers can determine the A’s, T’s, C’s, and G’s (nucleotides) it’s made of.
