title: 3D micron-scale MRI of single biological cells.
abstract: We report MRI microscopy images of single biological cells with micron-scale resolution in all three dimensions. Sub-cellular organelles are observed, including a spiral-shaped array of chloroplasts on the inner surface of the cell wall of a Spirogyra alga.
