I think expansion only "clears" the sample because it dilutes it. E.g. 4x expansion is 4x4x4=64 times dilution. I'm guessing the proteases/heat used in expansion don't contribute much, if at all, to clearing.

Expansion microscopy is sort of like a clearing technique. Also ideal for lightsheets with water dipping objectives as the expanded sample ends up with a similar refractive index to water.

A fun and creative way to learn about someone's work
