Various methods for analysing 3D data sets are available at the LIB. 3D reconstructions and geometric morphometry are presented here.
What are 3D reconstructions?

Special software can be used to create 3-dimensional models from all 3-dimensional imaging procedures such as CT or histological section series, which can also depict the internal anatomy.
What equipment is available at the LIB?

The LIB has a complete and effective pipeline for creating 3D models. The available software includes Amira, VG Studio, Maya, Drishti, Fiji and Meshlab.
What are 3D models used for at the LIB?
The models are used to illustrate morphological and anatomical findings for publications or books, to generate virtual 3D models or as a basis for morphometry, functional morphology, mechanical simulations or 3D prints.
