Same goes for scientists. It\u2019s hard enough to zoom in on something so small, much less capture a 3D image of the thing. As a result, it\u2019s easy to imagine that there are a multitude of two-dimensional discs filling your blood vessels and fighting your infections. That\u2019s why this new development is so eye-opening.
