List of Figures

• Example expression patterns in a: the 12 day and b: the 9-day mouse embryo
• The LHS of the figure shows a screen shot of the anatomy database browser with a selection of the 9-day tissues. The RHS shows a 3D view of the reference image in ``cut-block'' view to display orthogonal and arbitrary sections through the data, none of which are in the original sectioning planes. The RHS also shows in surface rendered mode selected anatomical components identified by the connecting lines.
• The viewing plane is defined to be perpendicular to the viewing direction given by angles $\theta$ and $\phi$ which are yaw and pitch respectively. The actual plane is distance d from the fixed point f.
• The Eulerian angles. The line of intersection between the original x-y plane and the new x'-y' plane is known as the ``line of nodes'' and shown extended in red in the figure. The x' axis is below the original plane and not shown.
• Top-level window of the computer program MAPaint v1.00 showing the 3D feedback available. The 9-day mouse embryo is shown as a series of outline contours, a number of anatomical domains are similarly depicted (red: neural tissue, blue: somites). Feedback for the position of two section views (not shown) are displayed, in one case as a solid plane, in the other just as the intersection polygon between the section plane and the voxel image 3D bounding box.ues to help the user orient the different views. This is not very important for the normal orthogonal sections which presumably will be familiar to most users of the database but for non-standard viewing directions could make easy use of the atlas and recognition of structures more difficult.
