3DView by 3DHISTECH is a software application that prepares 3D reconstructions of 2D serial sections. It is also capable of displaying microCT images in 3D (VOL/VGI format).
While microscope slides allow you to see only one section of reality, 3DView is a tool that can reconstruct the original tissue from its serial sections. The 3D image can then be rotated, zoomed into and “sliced” according to user needs.
How 3DView Works
Aligns several 2D serial sections using the SlideMatch function;
Prepares a 3D reconstruction from 2D serial sections;
The 3D image can then be rotated, zoomed into and “sliced” according to user needs.
Key features
Advanced visualization options
Besides brightness, contrast, gamma, RGB channels, etc., the user can select and edit several stainings for best visualization.
Slice view (2D) of arbitrary sections and volume view (3D) of a volumetric data set are both available.
3DView is also capable of preparing 3D reconstructions from a Z-stack slide.
Measurement tools to assess metric distances
Advanced file export options
The reconstruction can be exported as either 2D series or a 3D volume, with several channel data, alignment, export magnification and file format options – including high-resolution video.
High-resolution snapshot export for publications is also available.
Wide compatibility with third-party file formats
Besides MRXS by 3DHISTECH, 3DView handles SVS by Leica Aperio, CZI by Zeiss, NDP by Hamamatsu, and VSI by Olympus.
