MacStereology ReadMe - 3 Dec 1995
=================================

About.
------
MacStereology is an Apple Macintosh package designed to collect and manipulate
data from either binary images (PICT) or input by hand from a digitising tablet.
The area of a profile of a cell or peak in a chart recording or the perimiter of
a line can be measured. Alternatively, the co-ordinates of describing profiles 
on serial sections can be saved in order to use the data to make 3-D 
reconstructions that can be viewed from any angle with the parts shown in various
plotting modes to see internal detail. It can also display stereo pairs, animate
sequences of reconstructions and do translucent reconstructions. Volumes and 
surface areas can be calculated.

MacStereology is not a full image processing package and is complemented by
packages such as IMAGE available from the NIH archive.
