Below is a 4D (3-dimension + time) movie that was composed by 3 focal planes - focal plane 2, 4 and 6 (for demonstration purpose we only picked these 3 focal planes to use.). Try to go up, down, forward and backward to see how biological events change along with the changing depth and time. For instance, you might see nuclei in focal plane 6 but not in focal plane 2 and 4.
