3-D Image Visualization

Full Article

With Mira Pro and Mira MX, you get an integrated 3-D viewer that renders 2-D images in 3-D. This provides additional opportunities for inspecting and analyzing both images and model data. This Brief illustrates some of the variations possible for visualizing image data using Mira MX Ultimate Edition.

Mira's 3-D plotting tool renders rectangular regions of 2-D images of any size and with bit depths from 8 to 64 bits per pixel, integer or real data type (not RGB). And it works with image stacks too. With Mira, a single button click can also render a region of an image stack of any depth (10 images? 100 images? more?) and animate them, even rotate, tilt, adjust the palette, or change the Z-axis scaling and re-render on the fly.

Mira MX provides a combination of 4 plot types with 6 pixel representations (Mira Pro has 2 representations). Combine these options with illumination changes, Mira's exceptional palette manipulation, and you get many more variations than are shown below.
