There are many techniques for 3D imaging of biological specimens such as confocal, two-photon and, wide-field fluorescence microscopy, CAT scan, MRI, and optical coherence tomography. There are also many derivatives of these techniques, each having its strengths and weaknesses. Due to the differences in resolution, depth-of-field, and field-of-view, it is often difficult to compare images from the relatively high-resolution microscopy methods to the latter lower-resolution high-volume imaging methods. Effectively making this comparison could be very powerful in relating organ or organism level information to cellular level processes.
