Abstract
Morphological and anatomical studies have long utilized qualitative means to reconstruct 3‐dimensional transparent images from serial sections. With the advent of computer graphics systems, more accurate images can be constructed to visualize growing plant parts in transparent 3‐D. We have developed a computer program which allows such reconstruction from stained serial sections. Advantages include 3‐dimensional imaging without the use of stereo pairs and the ability to rotate an image to see all angles.Funding Information
