✦ Synopsis

A new method for aligning histological serial sections for three-dimensional reconstruction by computer is introduced. This method is particularly suited for embedding structures in celloidine or paraplast. Prior to sectioning, at least three reference markers are affixed to the preparation in a direction perpendicular to the section plane, for easy identification on the finished sections. An algorithm translates and rotates the serial sections until all the reference markers are congruent. The main advantage of this method, however, is its capability to eliminate deformations caused by compression or stretching during sectioning by the determination of correction factors.

This paper presents a three-dimensional Fourier descriptor (FD3) for shape representation/reconstruction. The FD3 is a double Fourier transform of serial cross-sectional contours of a shape in three dimensions (3D), which retains all shape information and gives a compact and invariant representation

A FORTRAN program, called AUTOSCAN, is described. This program permits the collection of photomicrographic data from serial sections to be semiautomated. In essence the user defines a box around a microscopic field of interest. Then the program drives the stage incrementally in the x and y direction
