Question about width of slices in a stack

[Rafael Martinez Vega]

Hello everyone,

Is there a way in which the width of the slices that form a stack can be
changed or declared? If so, how do I do that? While I was expecting to
get some images to process I generated some circles to see how it works
by trying to make a sphere out of it. It works fine, in the sense of
creating the stack; but whenever I try to generate the volume or the
surface (it is a sphere) I get a surface more like an ellipsoid. That
naturally has to do with the fact that while making the stack with the
slices, it moves along the Z-axis faster than it should, therefore I'd
like to know how to adjust the width of the slices and thus reduce the
speed in which the Z-axis is traversed.

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

P.s. though I'm a mathematician; I'm more a theoretical one and I'm
definitely not that good programming.

You can change the depth of the z dimension of the voxels with
Image>Properties.
