      « With cryo-ET, we’re looking at small, very complicated cellular material that’s incredibly crowded inside the cell. It’s like a forest of trees, and you’re trying to find one leaf on one tree in there. Cryo-ET needs a dramatic step forward in contrast, so we can start to see what’s going on inside the cell. That’s what the laser phase plate promises to give us. »
