Abstract

A schemata for 3-D reconstructions from images of serial sections of biological tissues is presented. A classification map is constructed from statistical analysis of populations of n-tupled image pixels. 1-tuples are assigned optical properties such as refractive index, optical density, hue, and saturation. Image sections are transformed into classified sections using the map and then stacked. The data set is processed by a program cognizant of the laws of polychromatic white light propagation through space.
