This paper describes a simplified system for serial section three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction. A set of 9 software programs runs on a standard personal computer and produces camera-ready illustrations suitable for publication. The user enters trace points on a digitizing tablet from sections that have been already aligned. A 3-D view of the reconstructed object is generated which can be displayed with hidden lines removed. Analysis of volume, surface area and autoradiographic grain density are performed automatically. A relational database query language allows display and analysis of a selected subset of the data. The system runs under the UNIX operating system which allows the programs to be easily transported to new hardware or modified for other purposes.
本文描述了一种用于连续切片三维（3-D）重建的简化系统。一组9个软件程序在标准个人计算机上运行，并生成适合出版的可供照相制版的插图。用户从已对齐的切片上在数字化平板电脑上输入跟踪点。生成重建对象的三维视图，该视图可以去除隐藏线进行显示。自动进行体积、表面积和放射自显影颗粒密度的分析。关系数据库查询语言允许显示和分析选定的数据子集。该系统在UNIX操作系统下运行，这使得程序可以轻松移植到新硬件上或为其他目的进行修改。
