Color Movies with VoxBlast:Rat Kidney
The image shown above is a single frame from a movie of the ureteric tree of a rat kidney, reconstructed and surface rendered from histological sections. The sections were aligned and then rendered and rotated to specifically measure ureteric duct branch lengths. VayTek's VoxBlast(TM) software was used to render the sections and to create a movie showing the entire rotation sequence.

"We have used (and continue to use) VoxBlast here in the Confocal Imaging Facility at Monash University for several projects that require volume visualization and analysis. I find it a great programme with easy to implement rendering and visualization features, and users get good results after a reasonably short training session. This is a good package, and I watch with interest as it continues to get better. Moreover, the software development team and tech support is amenable to interaction with users both regarding needed features and assistance with application problems." -- Dr. Ian S. Harper, Confocal Imaging Facility, Department of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Australia
