title: Ribosome subunit joining frozen in time.
abstract: In this issue of Structure, Chen et al. (2015) report the use of a mixing-spraying method of time-resolved cryogenic electron microscopy, which allowed the progression of ribosomal subunit association to be visualized on the millisecond timescale.
