The 3D quantum ghost imaging microscope setup. A laser and crystal (left) are used to make entangled photons, which are split and sent in two directions. One turns left to hit and scatter off a sample, providing a standard image at a 90-degree angle. The other continues straight and is used to construct a ghost image.
