A visualization of the dual-laser phase plate — a collaboration between UC Berkeley and Biohub. Two precision mirrors bounce laser light back and forth, building to an intensity 100 million times brighter than the Sun’s surface, enabling scientists to see the detailed inner workings of cells with more clarity and contrast than ever before.
