I am having trouble finding/choosing software that I can use to turn my
serial histological sections into 3D images.  I found a great list on
Morphmet in a letter from 2008, but it covers so much (or, the four 
sites it lists cover so much) I'm still overwhelmed  by trying to figure 
out which program does what I need.  It may just be a vocabulary 
problem, but I seem to be finding a lot of programs to analyze 3D 
reconstructions once they already exist.

I found something called BioVis 3D that does what I need although it is 
PC based and it would be a strain on my budget. Paraview looks 
promising, but I can't get it to open any of my image files (?!). Does 
anyone out there do 3D reconstructions of tissue sections ?  Is there a 
way to do this in ImageJ, and, if so, where can I find instructions ? 
Can anyone suggest the right keywords to use in a search ? Mac is best, 
but I can use PC if necessary, and truly ideal would be something I 
could use to generate data for import into MorphoJ.

Many thanks,

Dany
