Section Viewer

[Jacqueline Ross]

Dear All,

 

I would like to be able to section a z series stack from a confocal
microscope such that I see not only the position of the point of section
(in xy view) but see the corresponding views on each side
simultaneously.

 

I have tried out the Volume Viewer which is very nice but it doesn't
seem to be able to display the xz/xy views together with the xy.


What I am trying to replicate a tool in the Leica SP2 software called
Section View. It allows you to save a snapshot of the views together.

 

If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated. I'm happy to post
an example (from the SP2) of what I am looking for if that helps to
explain things better.

 

Cheers,

 

Jacqui.

I know what you are referring to.  It is possible to use
Image>Stacks>Reslice to present a "side view" of the edge revealed by
a line traced on the image.  I would imagine that it would be
possible to draw one line, run a reslice, draw a line at right angles
and do a second reslice.  One could then rotate and place all three
images in a new image frame so that they would duplicate the Leica
display.  This is cumbersome, but it might be possible to write a
macro to do this.

That said, I haven't had enough experience with macros yet to try it.
