General workflow of expansion microscopy (ExM). Biological samples are first infused with a chemical anchor and polymerized in situ to form a sample-hydrogel composite. It then goes through a homogenization step, in which the molecules and structures that maintain the mechanical integrity of the sample are broken down. Finally, the sample-hydrogel composite is dialyzed in water for expansion
