A microcomputer-based system is described that generates three-dimensional shaded images from serial section data. It is implemented on the IBM PC-AT microcomputer, using a graphics display card (Real World Graphics PC 4000) to provide sufficient colours for the production of realistically shaded and highlighted images. Image generation time is typically less than 10 min. The capabilities of the system are illustrated by reconstructions of the Kurloff cell from the guinea-pig (based on serial electron micrographs), human teeth (based on light microscope data), the human leg (from gross anatomical sections) and the human brainstem (from stereotaxic atlas data). The system is applicable to a wide variety of serial section data from histological, anatomical and medical imaging systems and ultrastructural studies.
本文描述了一种基于微型计算机的系统，该系统可根据连续切片数据生成三维阴影图像。它在IBM PC-AT微型计算机上实现，使用图形显示卡（Real World Graphics PC 4000）来提供足够的颜色，以生成逼真的阴影和高光图像。图像生成时间通常少于10分钟。通过对豚鼠库尔洛夫细胞（基于连续电子显微镜照片）、人类牙齿（基于光学显微镜数据）、人类腿部（来自大体解剖切片）和人类脑干（来自立体定向图谱数据）的重建，展示了该系统的功能。该系统适用于来自组织学、解剖学和医学成像系统以及超微结构研究的各种连续切片数据。
