A quantitative phase microscopy image of biomolecular condensates reconstituted from RNA and four distinct RNA-binding proteins. Pixel brightness is proportional to the local thickness of a condensate multiplied by its refractive index. As a result, condensates appear brightest at their tallest point. The diameter of the largest condensate is 12 micrometers.
