A team of researchers in Japan has developed a technique for improving the free electron lasers (FELs) approach to studying Photosystem II that allows for creating high-resolution images of the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) in plants. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the team describes their new technique and how their work might lead to a better understanding of the entire photosynthesis process. Ilme Schlichting, of the Max Planck Institute offers a News & Views piece on the work done by the team in the same journal issue.
