Visualizing free mRNA. Images show contrast enhancement using thionine of a 4000 nucleotide mRNA molecule. In the absence of dye (left), the resolution is comparable to published examples (25), whereas in the presence of 0.1 mM thionine (right), extended strand and molecular branching is more clearly discernible.
