The public domain NIH Image program for the Mac, V1.40 or later, has the 
ability to reconstruct slices from serial sections. It is available via 
anonymous ftp from alw.nih.gov, in the directory /pub/image. DIP Station, 
also for the Mac, has the ability to generate 3-D models from serial 
sections. It is available from the Hayden Image Processing 
Group(whc@po.cwru.edu) in Cleveland, Ohio.
