A. Yes, but not in detail. âMany scientists use electron, scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopes to view individual DNA molecules,â said Michael W. Davidson, curator of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University.
Real-time fluorescence microscopy of stained molecules, however, showed more subtle dynamics during electrophoresis, with the DNA showing considerable elasticity as it alternately stretching in the direction of the applied field and then contracting into a ball, or becoming hooked into a U-shape when it gets caught on the polymer fibres.
