Check out the features of:
a) Osirix http://www.osirix-viewer.com
b) Meshlab http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/
c) ImageJ http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij
Not sure which, if any, will have the features you need, but all are
free to try. Osirix is Mac-only and I use it to construct isosurfaces.
Meshlab has digitizing capabilities. ImageJ supports stacks, and
knowledgeable folks seem to be able to do a lot with it. Meshlab and
ImageJ are cross-platform.
When Osirix and Meshlab have not done what I wanted, I just export to
.obj format from Meshlab and work with the vertices and facets in R,
another nice, opensource, cross-platform offering.
Anyway, between a and b above, I no longer consider 3D data acquisition
a problem I need to spend time on.

Dear Morphmet members,
I have never worked with 3D reconstructions and my question regards as
to what software to use. I plan to measure surfaces (drosophila eye
area) and count features (individual ommitidia on eyes) from microCT.
Can anyone point me in the direction of any software that is capable of
making such measurements (surface area measures of surfaces in 3d and
counting features) from CT scans? Are there any data formats that are
particularly amenable for such measurements? Any help would be appreciated.
best,
Saad Arif
