title: A threedimensional reconstruction program for personal computers.
abstract: A reconstruction program is described for personal computers, permitting threedimensional image reconstructions from serial sections. This program also makes it possible to calculate the volume of structures from their twodimensional images in histological sections. In this paper we show a program written in BASIC and debugged on a Sharp MZ-700 personal computer, equipped with the Sharp MZ-1P01 plotter. The program is explained in detail and is easily adapted to run on any personal computer.
