Three-dimensional specimen
XYZ image stack of a pollen grain. A series of XY images
acquired in different focus positions represents the Z dimension
of the specimen.
The orthogonal projection of the three-dimensional image data
stack permits the raw data stack to be sectioned anywhere in
any of the three mutually perpendicular planes.
Bottom left (above): Horizontal section through the center
of the pollen grain (XY image).
Top: Projection of a vertical section along the horizontal axis
in the XY image.
Bottom right: Vertical section along the vertical axis in the
XY image.
