bioView3D volume renderer is an open source and cross-platform application intended for biologists to visualize EM, Confocal, etc. 3D imagery. It runs on Windows, MacOS X and Linux. It's based on OpenGL and will run smooth on modern-fast hardware. bioView3D supports popular 3D stack formats like Fluoview, Zeiss LSM, TIFF, BioRad PIC, etc.
bioView3D has all the necessary tools embedded - image interpolation and channel remapping. The model is contructed using meta-data so it's physically accurate. It's also possible to export screen into an image file.
Requirements: Video card supporting OpenGL 1.2 and lots of memory
Recommended platform: Intel Core2Duo, 2GB RAM, nVidia 7x series
Latest version: 0.1.17
bioView3D was developed at the Center for Bio-Image Informatics, UCSB, it's cross-platform GUI is based on Trolltech Qt 4.8 library and follows it's respective licence. It also uses other free libraries like DSingleApplication, libtiff, libjpeg, libpng and zlib.
