3D Reconstruction of the Antennal Lobe of Drosophila melanogaster - Models and Movies

3D surface models (VRML)

VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) models are 3D surface models and can be downloaded, viewed and manipulated on your local machine.

• VRML models of specimens 1-4

Raytraced movie files

These Quicktime movies were created from sets of raytraced images of the confocal stack. Viewpoints were shifted from frame to frame to create a movie that simulates the object turning in space. Specimen 1, which is also available as an interactive surface rendered 3D model, is represented with a 3.3 MB movie that shows the antennal lobe from all viewpoints. The other specimens are represented with smaller (1.4-2MB) movies with less viewpoints. Italic font indicates the initial position of the lobe.

• Specimen 1 (male, 288 frames; 3.3 MB) Ventral: top, Lateral: right, Anterior face
• Specimen 2 (male, 72 frames; 1.3 MB) Ventral: right, Lateral: top, Anteromedial angle
• Specimen 3 (female, 124 frames; 1.9 MB) Ventral: right, Lateral: top, Posterior face
• Specimen 4 (female, 124 frames; 2.0 MB) Ventral: right, Lateral: top, Posterior face

The current version of the Quicktime movie player is available from http://apple.com/quicktime

Confocal stacks

Confocal stacks are available as Quicktime files. These have been reduced in X/Y to 256x256 and retain their original Z size. Neuropils surrounding the antennal lobe have been cut away in these stacks for volume rendering from all viewpoints. All stacks begin with the anterior face and proceed to posterior. Italic font indicates the initial position of the lobe.

• Specimen 1 (male, 116 frames) Ventral: bottom, Lateral: left
• Specimen 2 (male, 133 frames) Ventral: right, Lateral: bottom
• Specimen 3 (female, 126 frames.) Ventral: right, Lateral: top
• Specimen 4 (female, 104 frames.) Ventral: right, Lateral: top
