Processing of 3D DIC microscopy images for data visualization
Patricia A. Feineigle, Andrew Witkin, Virginia L. Stonick · 2002
Differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy is a popular method for studying the three dimensional structure of living cells. Currently, no volume rendering tools exist which support visualisation of 3D DIC data. The authors develop a transformation method which removes the differential appearance of DIC imager, producing data which is suitable for volume rendering, and compare this method to an edge-enhancing approach based on a variance filter.
