Optical sectioning microscopy and bioimage-oriented interfaces for 2D/3D and time-variant characterization of biostructures

Bioimage-oriented interfaces are linked to a 3D image formation system, i.e. the optical microscope, for a new approach to image manipulation in biology and medicine. Stereo monitors and 3D head-tracking and sensor devices allow the operator to interact with 3D data sets representing biostructures and to navigate through the object space. Image restoration algorithms have been implemented in order to gather quantitative information and to study the delicate and interesting relationship between structure and function in biological systems.
