Explore how cells are built, how they differ, and how life stores and uses information. Choose a structure, compare cell types, and follow a simple molecular pathway.
The 4D vision: three dimensions of space, plus time. Rotate, move and zoom through a cell while molecules move and carry out their functions. Pause, replay and change the time scale to explore processes. The animal-cell view offers a 30 µm reference cutaway, a searchable component catalog, close-up focus and representative motion tracking. Plant and bacterial comparisons remain schematic; broader molecular dynamics and VR controls are planned.
