Fig. 4From: Fabrication approaches for the creation of physical models from microscopy dataImages representing various steps in the creation of the prevacuolar compartment model. a Tomographic slice of a maize cell showing a prevacuolar compartment. b Screenshot of the segmented prevacuolar compartment as a mesh representation, with all of the interior components shown in different colors. Countours were traced in IMOD and the mesh model was created in MeshLabs. c Screenshot of a solid rendering of the mesh model created in MeshLabs. d Final model after casting the 3D printed components in acrylic using the 3D printed mold. The scalebar in Panel a is about 100 nm and the scalebar in Panel d is about 3 cm. The scaling factor of the model is roughly 300000:1Back to article page
