Confocal Microscopy and the Respiratory Tract

The images on these pages are from the following publication:

Goldie, R.G., Rigby, P.J., Pudney, C.J. and Cody, S.H. ``Confocal Microscopy and the Respiratory Tract''. In Pulmonary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 10(4):175-188, 1997.

These images are volume renderings of a 3D confocal microscope image (591x491x99) of a house dust mite. The images were rendered using the AVS/Express ray-tracer. The confocal dataset was collected by Stephen Cody at the Biomedical Confocal Microscopy Research Centre, UWA. The house dust mite is courtesy of Dr. Geoff Stewart, Microbiology, UWA.
