OverviewExplore tissue structures in 3D using 3DView. The software converts 2D serial sections, confocal Z-stacks and micro-CT datasets into interactive 3D reconstructions with SlideMatch alignment for rotation, zoom and arbitrary slicing.
Key features- Interactive 3D reconstruction from 2D serial sections and Z-stack slides.
- Support for micro-CT datasets (VOL/VGI formats).
- SlideMatch alignment enabling rotation, zoom and arbitrary slicing through volumes.
- Image controls: brightness, contrast, gamma, RGB channel control and multi-stain editing.
- Metric measurement tools for distance assessment within 3D models.
- Export options: 2D image series, full 3D volumes, channel selection, alignment and magnification settings; high-resolution video and snapshot exports.
- Wide compatibility with major whole slide imaging formats.
Supported data and workflows- 2D serial section stacks → 3D reconstructions.
- Z-stack (confocal) slides → 3D volume rendering.
- Micro-CT datasets (VOL/VGI) → integration and virtual coloring.
Compatibility- Supported whole slide image formats: MRXS (3DHISTECH), SVS (Leica Aperio), CZI (Zeiss), NDP (Hamamatsu), VSI (Olympus).
Precision & export- Tools for accurate metric distance assessment within 3D reconstructions.
- Export as 2D image sequences or complete 3D volumes with control over channels, alignment and magnification.
- High-resolution video and snapshot exports suitable for presentations and publications.
