Visualizer (VIS)

Visualizer (VIS) provides a new mechanism to view and interact with a multi-image dataset. A typical image data set would be a series of optical sections through a specimen. VIS can reconstruct and render the data for interactive 3D viewing, as an intuitive extension of the Data. VIS renders images using optimized software and hardware acceleration.

VIS Features:
  • Accelerated visualization
  • Export movies to AVI, CXD, or images
  • Field and group mode integration
  • Customize fluorophore tint
  • ISO surface reconstruction
  • Min, max, alpha blending views
  • Analygraph and orthogonal slice views


  • Recommended Graphics Hardware:
    Volume projection-hardware selection in the viewer requires a video card which supports OpenGL extensions. For best performance, ATI Radeon 9600 series or higher should be used for effective 3D visualization. Following is a suggested list of consumer level video cards which support OpenGL:
  • ATI Radeon 8500, 9000, 9600, 9700, 9800, x600, x700, x800, and later
  • nVidia GeForce series and all Quadro lines
  • Diamond FireGL1
  • 3D Labs Oxygen GVX1 and Wildcat family
  • Matrox Parhelia


  • Applications:
  • Volume reconstruction
  • Quickly view entire structure
  • Alternative view for time series
  • Export rendered movies
  • Confocal microscopy
  • Deconvolved datasets
