Single-crosslink microscopy in a biopolymer network dissects local elasticity from molecular fluctuations

Polymer networks are fundamental from cellular biology to plastics technology but their intrinsic inhomogeneity is masked by the usual ensemble-averaged measurements. Here, we construct direct maps of crosslinks—symbolic depiction of spatially-distributed elements highlighting their physical feature...
