Confusing title: it's not a single strand of DNA that gets the image information, it's a pool of DNA wh. collectively hold the images information
Each "pixel" is a well in a 96-well plate. Bacteria in these wells are exposed to different light, triggering the DNA transformation; DNA is then harvested f. the bacteria to get your image library

A biological camera that captures and stores images directly into DNA - Nature Communications
DNA data storage has gained recent interest due to the high information density of DNA. Here, the authors have developed a method to directly capture information in the form of light and encode it into DNA via bacteria, analogous to a digital camera.

Kat KimbrielI wanted to share this wonderful thread, but I wanted to ALT it--to mention that the bookworm-eaten book looks as if an artist took an old book already damaged by water & the oil from fingertips, and carved into the open book with a U-shaped carving tool, at different depths. Not only worm trenches, but pieces of paper leaves, words out of place, layered, diagonal--it is still a work of art.

Attached: 1 image I need to share this interaction before it slips my mind—as I was looking at these materials yesterday with the iSchool’s facilities manager—side note: a person without whom the press or anything around it just wouldn’t exist—he observed about the bookworm-eaten book—“it’s like a computer virus. It slowly ate away at the information until it was completely inaccessible” & I will share that brilliant metaphor with students every time I show this book the rest of my career
