Abstract

An imaging device to obtain images, comprising: an optical source; an x-y scanner receiving light from the optical source and directing it onto a sample; a detector receiving reflected light from the scanner; and a computer receiving a signal from the detector and providing a 3D data set containing voxels with a given voxel resolution of a sample, the computer further executing instructions for finding values other than a single axes sum to represent a set of voxels; composing a 2D image using the values.
