Peering into Complex, Tiny Structures with 3D Analysis Tool Tomviz

New open source software tomviz—short for tomographic visualization—enables researchers to interactively understand large 3D datasets. More specifically, the software analyzes 3D tomographic data similar to a medical CT-scan but at the nanoscale. "When you can take a nanoparticle or biomolecule and spin it around, slice it, look inside it, and quantitatively analyze it, you get a complete picture from all angles," says Yi Jiang, a physics Ph.D. candidate at Cornell University.

Visualizing Nanotechnology in 3D with Open Source Software

The new open source project tomviz is helping the 3D visualization of nanotechnology...In this user-friendly, cross-platform application, large volumetric datasets can be rendered, animated, sliced, and analyzed. The platform provides a robust graphical interface where multiple datasets, colormaps, and other visualization settings can be used in combination and these objects can be saved as image or animated video files...
