IMOD 3.7.3

IMOD is a set of image processing, modeling and display programs used for tomographic reconstruction and for 3D reconstruction of EM serial sections and optical sections.
The package contains tools for assembling and aligning data within multiple types and sizes of image stacks, viewing 3-D data from any orientation, and modeling and display of the image files. IMOD was developed primarily by David Mastronarde, Rick Gaudette, Sue Held, and Jim Kremer at the Boulder Laboratory for 3-D Electron Microscopy of Cells.
Enhancements:
- The model structure has been enhanced to contain fine-grained display properties, so that several display features (color, transparency, line width, symbol display) can be changed for individual points within a contour or contours or surfaces within an object. Multiple openings (gaps) in a contour can also be created. The features can be set and visualized in 3dmod, and imodmesh encodes the features into a mesh.
- eTomo can now process montaged data and has an improved window layout for working on dual-axis data sets.
- eTomo provides an interface for running two of the steps on multiple computers or processors, and a mechanism for specifying the available machines.
- The bead tracker has been improved and can track in local areas, which greatly improves its performance for data sets covering large areas.
