Imaging technologies are key to modern medicine and diagnosis at an early stage, potentially improving patient outcomes. Microscopic imaging allows researchers and professionals to look directly into cells, making it possible to visualize structures and processes that were once invisible. However, an important limitation of current technology is that microscopic imaging in high-resolution is limited to bidimensional (2D) images obtained in microscope slides, while tissue structures are tridimensional (3D). For decades, scientists have been looking for a way to address this challenge and obtain 3D microscopic images.
