- Harvey Karten: There is an excellent new program, called SYNU,
that does elegant 3D reconstruction of neurons, written by
the Imaging Group at the University of California San Diego,
under the direction of Mark Ellisman. It runs on a Silicon
Graphics machine, and produces gorgeous images of serial
sections, with variable transparency, stereo pairs, etc.
I think it may be available for just the cost of the media.
An example of the product is shown on the front cover of
the November issue of J. Neurosciences by Martone. The current
problem with it (when I last spoke with the Ellisman group
about this) was that it takes a bit of doing to import
files into it from Image or Canvas or other programs,
and it does need a Silicon Graphics to run the program.
