ABSTRACT

The exploration tools make it possible to browse quickly through large stacks of serial sections. There are two basic tools: the gallery display and the orthogonal projections.

Figure 6.1 Gallery display of a series of optical sections through a nucleus of a HeLa cell stained with IP. The FITC labeling of HSF1 (heat shock factors) can be seen as small bright spots. Only eight sections out of 40 are shown.
