Diagram of CARS Apparatus

Caption

A diagram of the CARS apparatus used by the scientists to detect the small protein crystals. Two laser beams (Laser 1 and Laser 2) intersect on the sample. The signal received from the highlighted region passes through several filters (including a polarizer) and hits a detector. With further processing, scientists are able to say whether there is a protein crystal in the region or not.
