Hierarchical polymer structures such as pNIPAM microgels have been extensively studied for their ability to undergo structural and physical transformations that can be controlled by external stimuli such as temperature, pH or solvent composition. However, a direct three-dimensional visualization of individual particles in-situ has so far been hindered by insufficient resolution, with optical...
