3D Imaging of plan-parallel slices is the source of many 3D visualizations. It helps to convey ideas and it allows to do measurements. We have developed a number of methods for the processing of 3D images or 3D image sets to models. The atlas of zebrafish development and CLSM imaging of patterns of gene expression are examples thereof. Other examples can be found in the Gallery section.
3D reconstruction from serial sections is much used for 3D imaging in developmental biology and microscopical anatomy. From workflow and "legacy" software we have redesigned the 3D modelling process. New software for 3D reconstruction has resulted: TDR-3DBase. This software supports multiple geometrical representations. Detailed information is given in the software section on TDR-3Dbase as well as in the publications section.
