When imaging cells grown on a flat substrate, such as a glass coverslip, we quickly admire the diversity of morphologies different cells can take on. Some cells, such as COS7, will take on a flat “pancake”-like shape, which makes it easy to image its organellar structure in a 2D plane. On the other hand, a
