From: 3D reconstruction of skin and spatial mapping of immune cell density, vascular distance and effects of sun exposure and aging

Fig. 3

a, b A reference autofluorescence image from the sequentially imaged sections is used to initiate registration; c A patch-based local correspondences in 2D serial sections is used for affine registration followed by deformable registration to account for tissue deformation; d 3D reconstruction of the segmented cells is achieved by mapping the cells in 3D using the affine and deformable transformation map and refinement is achieved by registration to micro CT image; e 3D volumes of classified cells overlaid on the AF volume and 3D mesh.
