  2. Focus On Focus: Three Technologies For Collecting 3D Image Data 9/3/2021

    Cells often cannot be imaged in a single plane, either due to cell thickness being greater than the depth of field or to inherent unevenness across the sample. Imaging cells grown on 3D substrates is increasingly prevalent as it provides a more true-to-life representation than traditional 2D cultures.
