Dear Subscribers, I am new to this listserver, so I apologize in advance for anyone I may offend.... I have been using a Biorad Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope in order to characterize the 3D morphology of a polymer. I have had excellent results (good sequences of 2D images, separated by ~3 microns). Unfortunately, the system I never bought the very expensive rendering/reconstruction software. I have manually digitzed the 2D slices and imported and rendered the images in AutoCad to prove that this is useful information, but it is very time intensive, and limited. I figure that this is trivial to most of you out there, but I would really appreciate any advice... I will post a summary. Is there an archive on this? Thanks in advance!
