Here is a single nerve cell from the cerebellum of the brain seen using 4 different methods of 3D imaging:
1) A deep-focus image was reconstructed from the stack of 2D optical slices
The images here are of the same nerve cell,
photographed at 11 different focus levels in the microscope. You will notice that each photograph has some parts that are in focus and
others that are out of focus. The 12th image at the end was reconstructed by stacking the 11 previous images providing a resultant image that has all of the in-focus data.
2) a real-time stereo image of a single slice through the middle of the stack
A deep-focus image of the nerve cell was reconstructed from the stack of optical slices above
3) deep-focus stereo set of left and right eye reconstructed images
The two images here are Left and Right eye images for 3D viewing by using cross-eye viewing.
4) real-time motion parallax image of nerve cell
This Animated GIF clip shows how our patented motion parallax method creates three dimensionality on a two dimensional screen. (Please be patient as this animation may take a few moments to load fully).
