Although many different magnetic imaging techniques are now available, imaging micro- and nano-scale magnetic fields in living organisms is still challenging. On page 486 of this issue, Le Sage et al.1 describe an advanced optical magnetic imaging technique which they use to study the three-dimensional magnetic fields that originate from chains of magnetic nanocrystals inside the living cells of magnetotactic bacteria.
