The images shown below illustrate the reconstruction process and a number of preliminary results. Most of these images have appeared as illustrations in journal papers or as parts of posters or conference presentations. In all of the images below, click on the image to get a larger version or the corresponding movie sequence. The software show in the images below has been developed as part of the Mouse Atlas project. This will become a public domain system in 1998.

This picture shows the use of overlays for rough registration of sections. Reconstruction of a 3D voxel image from a series of 2D sections. The program reconstruct allows manual and automatic registration of sections as well as grey-level normalisation and in future will provide mechanisms for warping images. This view shows the interface for section editing and review. A second view of the reconstruct program showing the manual tie-point interface.
