Input from Serial Sections

Serial section reconstruction has a wide range of applications. The technique of serial section reconstruction is used to build models of all kinds of structures, both biological and mechanical. Indeed, examples of serial section reconstruction can be found in boat building, dentistry, and the manufacturing of machine parts. We limit this chapter to the use of serial section reconstruction in neuroanatomy.
