Abstract. A method is described, that represents a three-dimensional object reconstructed from serial section images by means of computer graphics and shading based on Lambert's law. Using biological or medical samples, some useful stereographic representation methods are demonstrated, which are a transparent display, cuts through a reconstructed model and a three-dimensional distribution representation of particles.
