In the paper by Sayre [ Acta Cryst. (2008), A 64 , 33–35], a proposal is made to use stereoscopy as a short‐term means of overcoming the primarily technological hurdles involved in three‐dimensional imaging of the biological cell by soft X‐ray diffraction microscopy. This addendum provides a broader perspective on the techniques used by this rapidly maturing community to investigate structural problems in the biological and material sciences.
