  • segmentation: a method for visualizing 3D data.  Taking a slice by slice volume, whether EM or LM, an agent (human or machine algorithm) traces out structures of interest and renders the tracings as 3D models, typically as a triangle mesh model.
  • Wiki Markupssh: A secure method of logging into another machine.    To use, open a terminal window and type the following suggested line: _ssh \ -Y \ [username\]@\[machinename\]. _   The name of the machine that you can log into along with a preset username / password will be required to ssh.    For more information about ssh, click [here|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh] .

  • Tilt series:  A set of images usually acquired using a TEM where an object placed inside of the TEM has been tilted over some range (typically -60 degrees to +60 degrees with 2 degree tilt increments).  Usually is then sent to be processed for backprojection. 
  • Tomogram:  A set of slices that make up some 3D sample or object.  Informal Synonyms:  Volume
  • Tomography:  imaging by sections or sectioning.  Images can be acquired by physical sectioning e.g. serial section tomography or by digital means e.g. backprojection.
  • Tomopitch: The alignment correction step where the user corrects for the angle / pitch in the y/z dimension.
