3DView

3DView by 3DHISTECH is a software application that prepares 3D reconstructions of 2D serial sections. It is also capable of displaying microCT images in 3D (VOL/VGI format).

While microscope slides allow you to see only one section of reality, 3DView is a tool that can reconstruct the original tissue from its serial sections. The 3D image can then be rotated, zoomed into and “sliced” according to user needs.

How 3DView Works

• Aligns several 2D serial sections using the SlideMatch function;
• Prepares a 3D reconstruction from 2D serial sections;
• The 3D image can then be rotated, zoomed into and “sliced” according to user needs.

Key features

Advanced visualization options

• Besides brightness, contrast, gamma, RGB channels, etc., the user can select and edit several stainings for best visualization.
• Slice view (2D) of arbitrary sections and volume view (3D) of a volumetric data set are both available.
• 3DView is also capable of preparing 3D reconstructions from a Z-stack slide.

Measurement tools to assess metric distances

Advanced file export options

• The reconstruction can be exported as either 2D series or a 3D volume, with several channel data, alignment, export magnification and file format options – including high-resolution video.
• High-resolution snapshot export for publications is also available.

Wide compatibility with third-party file formats

Besides MRXS by 3DHISTECH, 3DView handles SVS by Leica Aperio, CZI by Zeiss, NDP by Hamamatsu, and VSI by Olympus.
